   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

   Section 1. Subdivisions 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 of section 500.10 of
 the  criminal  procedure  law  are  amended and a new subdivision 3-a is
 added to read as follows:
   1. "Principal" means a defendant in a criminal action  or  proceeding,
 or  a person adjudged a material witness therein, or any other person so
 involved therein that [he] THE PRINCIPAL may  by  law  be  compelled  to
 appear  before  a  court  for  the purpose of having such court exercise
 control over [his] THE PRINCIPAL'S person to secure  [his]  THE  PRINCI-
 PAL'S  future  attendance at the action or proceeding when required, and
 who in fact either is before the court for  such  purpose  or  has  been
 before it and been subjected to such control.
   2.  "Release  on  own  recognizance."  A court releases a principal on
 [his] THE PRINCIPAL'S own recognizance  when,  having  acquired  control
 over  [his] THE PRINCIPAL'S person, it permits [him] THE PRINCIPAL to be
 at liberty during the pendency of  the  criminal  action  or  proceeding
 involved  upon  condition  that  [he]  THE PRINCIPAL will appear thereat
 whenever [his] THE PRINCIPAL'S attendance may be required  and  will  at
 all  times  render  [himself]  THE  PRINCIPAL amenable to the orders and
 processes of the court.
   3-A. "RELEASE UNDER NON-MONETARY CONDITIONS." A COURT RELEASES A PRIN-
 CIPAL UNDER NON-MONETARY CONDITIONS WHEN, HAVING ACQUIRED CONTROL OVER A
 PERSON, IT AUTHORIZES THE PERSON TO BE AT LIBERTY DURING THE PENDENCY OF
 THE CRIMINAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING INVOLVED UNDER CONDITIONS  ORDERED  BY
 THE  COURT,  WHICH  SHALL  BE THE LEAST RESTRICTIVE CONDITIONS THAT WILL
 REASONABLY ASSURE THE PRINCIPAL'S RETURN TO COURT. SUCH  CONDITIONS  MAY

 SUPERVISION  WITH  A PRETRIAL SERVICES AGENCY SERVING PRINCIPALS IN THAT
 COUNTY; THAT, WHEN IT IS SHOWN PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH (A) OF  SUBDIVISION
 FOUR  OF  SECTION 510.40 OF THIS TITLE THAT NO OTHER REALISTIC NON-MONE-
 TARY CONDITION OR SET OF NON-MONETARY CONDITIONS WILL SUFFICE TO REASON-
 ABLY ASSURE THE PRINCIPAL'S RETURN TO COURT, THE PRINCIPAL'S LOCATION BE
 MONITORED WITH AN APPROVED ELECTRONIC MONITORING DEVICE,  IN  ACCORDANCE
 WITH SUCH SUBDIVISION FOUR OF SECTION 510.40 OF THIS TITLE.  A PRINCIPAL
 SHALL  NOT  BE  REQUIRED  TO  PAY FOR ANY PART OF THE COST OF RELEASE ON
 NON-MONETARY CONDITIONS.
   4. "Commit to the custody of the sheriff." A court commits a principal
 to the custody of the sheriff when, having acquired control  over  [his]
 THE PRINCIPAL'S person, it orders that [he] THE PRINCIPAL be confined in
 the custody of the sheriff during the pendency of the criminal action or
 proceeding involved.
   5.  "Securing  order" means an order of a court committing a principal
 to the custody of the sheriff[,] or fixing bail,  WHERE  AUTHORIZED,  or

   6.  "Order of recognizance or bail" means a securing order releasing a
 principal on [his] THE PRINCIPAL'S own recognizance OR  UNDER  NON-MONE-
 TARY CONDITIONS or, WHERE AUTHORIZED, fixing bail.
   7.  "Application  for  recognizance or bail" means an application by a
 principal that the court, instead of committing [him] THE  PRINCIPAL  to
 or  retaining  [him] THE PRINCIPAL in the custody of the sheriff, either
 release [him on his own] THE PRINCIPAL ON THE PRINCIPAL'S  OWN  recogni-
 zance [or], RELEASE UNDER NON-MONETARY CONDITIONS, OR, WHERE AUTHORIZED,

 COMMISSION OF THE PRESENT CRIME SHALL BE EXCLUDED  AND  SUCH  FIVE  YEAR

 A. 6276                             3

 INSTANCES,  THE COURT SHALL SELECT THE LEAST RESTRICTIVE ALTERNATIVE AND
 CONDITIONS THAT WILL REASONABLY ASSURE THE PRINCIPAL'S RETURN TO  COURT.

 OF  THIS SECTION, WITH RESPECT TO ANY CHARGE FOR WHICH BAIL OR REMAND IS
 NOT ORDERED, AND FOR WHICH THE COURT WOULD NOT OR  COULD  NOT  OTHERWISE
 REQUIRE  BAIL  OR REMAND, A DEFENDANT MAY, AT ANY TIME, REQUEST THAT THE
 COURT SET BAIL IN A NOMINAL AMOUNT REQUESTED BY  THE  DEFENDANT  IN  THE
 FORM  SPECIFIED IN PARAGRAPH (A) OF SUBDIVISION ONE OF SECTION 520.10 OF
 THIS TITLE; IF THE COURT IS SATISFIED THAT THE REQUEST IS VOLUNTARY, THE
 COURT SHALL SET SUCH BAIL IN SUCH AMOUNT.
   7. When a securing order is revoked or  otherwise  terminated  in  the
 course of an uncompleted action or proceeding but the principal's future
 court  attendance  still is or may be required and [he] THE PRINCIPAL is
 still under the control of a court, a new securing order must be issued.
 When the court revokes or otherwise terminates a  securing  order  which

 nation of the securing order.

 CIPAL  may make an application for recognizance, RELEASE UNDER NON-MONE-
 TARY CONDITIONS or bail.
   2.  (A) THE PRINCIPAL IS ENTITLED TO REPRESENTATION BY COUNSEL IN  THE
 MAKING  AND PRESENTATION OF SUCH APPLICATION. IF THE PRINCIPAL IS FINAN-
 CIALLY UNABLE TO OBTAIN COUNSEL, COUNSEL SHALL BE ASSIGNED TO THE  PRIN-
 CIPAL.
   (B)  Upon such application, the principal must be accorded an opportu-
 nity to be heard, PRESENT EVIDENCE and  to  contend  that  an  order  of
 recognizance,  RELEASE  UNDER  NON-MONETARY CONDITIONS or, WHERE AUTHOR-

 A. 6276                             5
 
 IZED, bail must or should issue, that the court should release  [him  on
 his] THE PRINCIPAL ON THE PRINCIPAL'S own recognizance OR UNDER NON-MON-
 ETARY  CONDITIONS  rather  than fix bail, and that if bail is AUTHORIZED
 AND fixed it should be in a suggested amount and form.
   §  4.  The  criminal  procedure law is amended by adding a new section
 510.25 to read as follows:
 § 510.25 REHEARING AFTER FIVE DAYS IN CUSTODY.
   1. IN ADDITION TO ANY OTHER AVAILABLE PRE-CONVICTION MOTION OR  PROCE-
 DURE,  A PRINCIPAL FOR WHOM BAIL IS AUTHORIZED AND WAS FIXED, OR WHO WAS

 RELEASE,  AND  WHO  IS IN CUSTODY FIVE DAYS THEREAFTER, SHALL BE BROUGHT
 BEFORE THE COURT THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY FOR A  HEARING  ON  THE  SECURING
 ORDER.
   2. THE PEOPLE MUST ESTABLISH BY CLEAR AND CONVINCING EVIDENCE THAT THE
 PRINCIPAL POSES A SIGNIFICANT RISK OF INTENTIONAL FLIGHT TO AVOID PROSE-
 CUTION,  AND THAT NO CONDITION OR COMBINATION OF CONDITIONS WILL REASON-

 BEEN INDICTED, AND REASONABLE CAUSE HAS NOT PREVIOUSLY BEEN  ESTABLISHED
 PURSUANT  TO  THE RELEVANT PROVISIONS OF SECTIONS 180.60, 180.70, 180.75
 AND 180.80 OF THIS CHAPTER OR THIS SECTION, THE PEOPLE MUST ALSO  ESTAB-
 LISH PROBABLE CAUSE THAT THE PRINCIPAL COMMITTED THE CHARGED OFFENSE.
   3.  IF  THE PEOPLE FAIL PURSUANT TO SUBDIVISION TWO OF THIS SECTION TO
 ESTABLISH THAT THE PRINCIPAL POSES A  SIGNIFICANT  RISK  OF  INTENTIONAL
 FLIGHT  TO  AVOID PROSECUTION AND THAT NO OTHER CONDITION OR COMBINATION
 OF CONDITIONS WILL REASONABLY ASSURE THE PRINCIPAL'S RETURN TO COURT, OR
 IN A CASE WHERE THERE IS NO INDICTMENT AND NO PREVIOUS FINDING  PURSUANT
 TO  SECTIONS  180.60,  180.70, 180.75 AND 180.80 OR THIS SECTION AND THE

 ENTED  BY  COUNSEL AND, IF FINANCIALLY UNABLE TO OBTAIN COUNSEL, TO HAVE
 COUNSEL ASSIGNED. THE PRINCIPAL SHALL  BE  AFFORDED  AN  OPPORTUNITY  TO

 ING;
   E.  ALL STATEMENTS OR REPORTS ON WHICH, AS APPLICABLE, THE PROSECUTION
 INTENDS TO RELY OR RELIED AT THE HEARING; AND
   F. ALL FACTS, EVIDENCE AND INFORMATION  FAVORABLE  TO  THE  PRINCIPAL,
 INCLUDING  BUT  NOT  LIMITED TO INFORMATION THAT TENDS TO NEGATE RISK OF
 FLIGHT OR THE PRINCIPAL'S GUILT OR THAT TENDS TO  MITIGATE  THE  PRINCI-
 PAL'S  CULPABILITY  AS  TO A CHARGED OFFENSE, OR THAT TENDS TO SUPPORT A
 POTENTIAL DEFENSE THERETO, OR THAT TENDS TO SUPPORT A MOTION TO SUPPRESS
 EVIDENCE ON CONSTITUTIONAL OR STATUTORY GROUNDS, OR THAT IS RELEVANT  TO
 A WITNESS'S CREDIBILITY, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE MATERIALITY OF THE INFOR-
 MATION, OR THAT WOULD TEND TO MITIGATE OR REDUCE PUNISHMENT IF THE PRIN-
 CIPAL WERE CONVICTED.
   6.  This  process  shall  continue  with  additional  rehearings, held
 promptly on reasonable written  request  of  defense  counsel,  made  on
 notice to the people.
   § 5. Section 510.30 of the criminal procedure law, subparagraph (v) of
 paragraph  (a) of subdivision 2 as amended by chapter 920 of the laws of
 1982, subparagraph (vi) of paragraph (a) of subdivision 2 as  renumbered
 by  chapter  447  of  the  laws of 1977, subparagraph (vii) as added and
 subparagraphs (viii) and (ix) of  paragraph  (a)  of  subdivision  2  as
 renumbered  by  section  1 of part D of chapter 491 of the laws of 2012,
 and subdivision 3 as added by chapter  788  of  the  laws  of  1981,  is
 amended to read as follows:
 § 510.30 Application for [recognizance or bail] SECURING ORDER; rules of
              law and criteria controlling determination.
   1. [Determinations of applications for recognizance or bail are not in
 all  cases discretionary but are subject to rules, prescribed in article
 five hundred thirty and other provisions of  law  relating  to  specific
 kinds  of  criminal  actions and proceedings, providing (a) that in some
 circumstances such an application must as a matter of  law  be  granted,
 (b)  that in others it must as a matter of law be denied and the princi-
 pal committed to or retained in the custody of the sheriff, and (c) that
 in others the granting  or  denial  thereof  is  a  matter  of  judicial
 discretion.
   2. To the extent that the issuance of an order of recognizance or bail
 and  the  terms thereof are matters of discretion rather than of law, an
 application is determined on the basis  of  the  following  factors  and
 criteria:
   (a)]  With  respect  to  any principal, the court IN ALL CASES, UNLESS
 OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY LAW, must [consider the] IMPOSE THE LEAST RESTRIC-
 TIVE kind and degree of control or  restriction  that  is  necessary  to
 secure  [his  court  attendance]  THE  PRINCIPAL'S  RETURN TO COURT when
 required. In determining that matter, the court must, on  the  basis  of
 available information, consider and take into account[:
   (i)  The  principal's  character, reputation, habits and mental condi-
 tion;
   (ii) His employment and financial resources; and
   (iii) His family ties and the length of his residence if  any  in  the
 community; and
   (iv)  His]  INFORMATION  ABOUT  THE  PRINCIPAL THAT IS RELEVANT TO THE
 PRINCIPAL'S RETURN TO COURT, INCLUDING:
   (A) THE PRINCIPAL'S ACTIVITIES AND HISTORY;
   (B) IF THE PRINCIPAL IS A DEFENDANT, THE CHARGES FACING THE PRINCIPAL;
   (C) THE PRINCIPAL'S criminal CONVICTION record if  any  PROVIDED  THAT
 THE  COURT  MUST  ALSO  CONSIDER AND TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE TIME THAT HAS

 A. 6276                             7
 
 ELAPSED SINCE THE OCCURRENCE OF SUCH CRIME OR CRIMES AND THE AGE OF  THE
 PRINCIPAL AT THE TIME OF THE OCCURRENCE OF SUCH CRIME OR CRIMES; [and
   (v)  His]  (D)  THE  PRINCIPAL'S  record of previous adjudication as a
 juvenile delinquent, as retained pursuant to section 354.2 of the family
 court act, or, of pending cases where fingerprints are retained pursuant
 to section 306.1 of such act, or a youthful offender,  if  any  PROVIDED
 THAT  THE  COURT  MUST ALSO CONSIDER AND TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE TIME THAT
 HAS ELAPSED SINCE THE OCCURRENCE OF SUCH DELINQUENCY OR YOUTHFUL  OFFEN-
 DER CONDUCT AND THE AGE OF THE PRINCIPAL AT THE TIME OF SUCH DELINQUENCY
 OR YOUTHFUL OFFENDER CONDUCT; [and
   (vi) His] (e) THE PRINCIPAL'S previous record [if any in responding to
 court  appearances  when required or] with respect to INTENTIONAL flight
 to avoid criminal prosecution; [and
   (vii)]  (F)  IF  MONETARY  BAIL  IS  AUTHORIZED,  ACCORDING   TO   THE
 RESTRICTIONS  SET FORTH IN THIS TITLE, THE PRINCIPAL'S INDIVIDUAL FINAN-
 CIAL CIRCUMSTANCES;
   (G) Where the principal is charged with a crime or  crimes  against  a
 member  or  members  of  the  same  family  or household as that term is
 defined in subdivision one of section 530.11 of this title, the  follow-
 ing factors:
   [(A)]  (I)  any  violation  by the principal of an order of protection
 issued by any court for the protection of a member  or  members  of  the
 same  family  or household as that term is defined in subdivision one of
 section 530.11 of this title, whether or not such order of protection is
 currently in effect; and
   [(B)] (II) the principal's history of use or possession of a  firearm;
 and
   [(viii)]  (H) If [he] THE PRINCIPAL is a defendant, [the weight of the
 evidence against him in the pending criminal action and any other factor
 indicating probability or improbability of conviction; or,] in the  case
 of  an  application  for [bail or recognizance] A SECURING ORDER pending
 appeal, the merit or lack of merit of the appeal[; and
   (ix) If he is a defendant, the sentence  which  may  be  or  has  been
 imposed upon conviction].
   [(b)]  2.  Where  the  principal is a defendant-appellant in a pending
 appeal from a judgment of conviction, the court must also  consider  the
 likelihood  of  ultimate  reversal of the judgment. A determination that
 the appeal is palpably without  merit  alone  justifies,  but  does  not
 require,  a  denial  of the application, regardless of any determination
 made with respect to the factors specified in [paragraph  (a)]  SUBDIVI-
 SION ONE OF THIS SECTION.
   3.  When  bail  or recognizance is ordered, the court shall inform the
 principal, if [he] THE PRINCIPAL is a defendant charged with the commis-
 sion of a felony, that the release is conditional and that the court may
 revoke the order of release and MAY BE AUTHORIZED TO commit the  princi-
 pal  to  the custody of the sheriff in accordance with the provisions of
 subdivision two of section 530.60 of this chapter if [he] THE  PRINCIPAL
 commits a subsequent felony while at liberty upon such order.
   §  6.  Section 510.40 of the criminal procedure law is amended to read
 as follows:
 § 510.40  [Application for recognizance or bail; determination  thereof,
              form of securing order and execution thereof] COURT NOTIFI-
              CATION TO PRINCIPAL OF CONDITIONS OF RELEASE AND OF ALLEGED
              VIOLATIONS OF CONDITIONS OF RELEASE.
   1.    [An application for recognizance or bail must be determined by a
 securing order which either:

 A. 6276                             8

   (a)  Grants the application and releases  the  principal  on  his  own
 recognizance; or
   (b)  Grants the application and fixes bail; or
   (c)    Denies the application and commits the principal to, or retains
 him in, the custody of the sheriff.
   2.] Upon ordering that a principal be released on  [his]  THE  PRINCI-
 PAL'S  own  recognizance, OR RELEASED UNDER NON-MONETARY CONDITIONS, OR,
 IF BAIL HAS BEEN FIXED, UPON THE POSTING OF BAIL, the court must  direct
 [him]  THE  PRINCIPAL  to  appear  in  the criminal action or proceeding
 involved whenever [his] THE PRINCIPAL'S attendance may be  required  and
 to [render himself] BE at all times amenable to the orders and processes
 of  the court.  If such principal is in the custody of the sheriff or at
 liberty upon bail at the time of the order, the court must  direct  that
 [he]  THE  PRINCIPAL be discharged from such custody or, as the case may
 be, that [his] THE PRINCIPAL'S bail be exonerated.
   [3.] 2. Upon the issuance of an order fixing bail,  WHERE  AUTHORIZED,
 and  upon the posting thereof, the court must examine the bail to deter-
 mine whether it complies with the order.  If it does, the court must, in
 the absence of some factor or circumstance  which  in  law  requires  or
 authorizes  disapproval  thereof,  approve  the  bail  and  must issue a
 certificate of release, authorizing the principal to be at liberty, and,
 if [he] THE PRINCIPAL is in the custody of  the  sheriff  at  the  time,
 directing  the  sheriff  to discharge [him] THE PRINCIPAL therefrom.  If
 the bail fixed is not posted, or is not approved after being posted, the
 court must order that the principal be committed to the custody  of  the
 sheriff.  IN THE EVENT OF ANY SUCH NON-APPROVAL, THE COURT SHALL EXPLAIN
 PROMPTLY IN WRITING THE REASONS THEREFOR.
   3.  NON-MONETARY  CONDITIONS  OF  RELEASE  SHALL BE INDIVIDUALIZED AND
 ESTABLISHED IN WRITING BY THE COURT. AT FUTURE  COURT  APPEARANCES,  THE
 COURT SHALL CONSIDER A LESSENING OF CONDITIONS OR MODIFICATION OF CONDI-
 TIONS TO A LESS BURDENSOME FORM BASED ON THE PRINCIPAL'S COMPLIANCE WITH
 SUCH  CONDITIONS OF RELEASE. IN THE EVENT OF ALLEGED NON-COMPLIANCE WITH
 THE CONDITIONS OF RELEASE IN AN  IMPORTANT  RESPECT,  PURSUANT  TO  THIS
 SUBDIVISION,  ADDITIONAL  CONDITIONS MAY BE IMPOSED BY THE COURT, ON THE
 RECORD OR IN WRITING, ONLY AFTER NOTICE OF THE FACTS  AND  CIRCUMSTANCES
 OF  SUCH  ALLEGED  NON-COMPLIANCE,  REASONABLE  UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES,
 AFFORDING THE PRINCIPAL AND THE PRINCIPAL'S ATTORNEY AND THE  PEOPLE  AN
 OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT RELEVANT, ADMISSIBLE EVIDENCE, RELEVANT WITNESSES
 AND  TO  CROSS-EXAMINE  WITNESSES, AND A FINDING BY CLEAR AND CONVINCING
 EVIDENCE THAT THE PRINCIPAL VIOLATED A CONDITION OF RELEASE IN AN IMPOR-
 TANT RESPECT.   FOLLOWING SUCH A  FINDING,  IN  DETERMINING  WHETHER  TO
 IMPOSE ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS FOR NON-COMPLIANCE, THE COURT SHALL CONSID-
 ER  AND  MAY SELECT CONDITIONS CONSISTENT WITH THE COURT'S OBLIGATION TO
 IMPOSE THE LEAST RESTRICTIVE CONDITION OR CONDITIONS THAT  WILL  REASON-
 ABLY  ASSURE THE DEFENDANT'S RETURN TO COURT. THE COURT SHALL EXPLAIN ON
 THE RECORD OR IN WRITING THE REASONS FOR ITS DETERMINATION AND  FOR  ANY
 CHANGES TO THE CONDITIONS IMPOSED.
   4.  (A) ELECTRONIC MONITORING OF A PRINCIPAL'S LOCATION MAY BE ORDERED
 ONLY IF THE COURT FINDS, AFTER NOTICE, AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE HEARD AND AN
 INDIVIDUALIZED DETERMINATION EXPLAINED ON THE RECORD OR IN WRITING, THAT
 THE DEFENDANT QUALIFIES FOR ELECTRONIC  MONITORING  IN  ACCORDANCE  WITH
 SUBDIVISION  TWENTY-ONE  OF  SECTION  500.10 OF THIS TITLE, AND NO OTHER
 REALISTIC NON-MONETARY CONDITION OR SET OF NON-MONETARY CONDITIONS  WILL
 SUFFICE TO REASONABLY ASSURE A PRINCIPAL'S RETURN TO COURT.
   (B)  THE  SPECIFIC  METHOD OF ELECTRONIC MONITORING OF THE PRINCIPAL'S
 LOCATION MUST BE APPROVED BY THE COURT.  IT MUST BE THE  LEAST  RESTRIC-

 A. 6276                             9
 
 TIVE  PROCEDURE  AND  METHOD THAT WILL REASONABLY ASSURE THE PRINCIPAL'S
 RETURN TO COURT, AND UNOBTRUSIVE TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PRACTICABLE.
   (C)  ELECTRONIC  MONITORING  OF  THE  LOCATION  OF  A PRINCIPAL MAY BE
 CONDUCTED ONLY BY A PUBLIC ENTITY UNDER THE SUPERVISION AND CONTROL OF A
 COUNTY OR MUNICIPALITY OR A NON-PROFIT  ENTITY  UNDER  CONTRACT  TO  THE
 COUNTY,  MUNICIPALITY  OR  THE  STATE. A COUNTY OR MUNICIPALITY SHALL BE
 AUTHORIZED TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH ANOTHER COUNTY OR  MUNICIPALITY
 IN  THE  STATE  TO  MONITOR  PRINCIPALS UNDER NON-MONETARY CONDITIONS OF
 RELEASE IN ITS COUNTY, BUT COUNTIES, MUNICIPALITIES AND THE STATE  SHALL
 NOT CONTRACT WITH ANY PRIVATE FOR-PROFIT ENTITY FOR SUCH PURPOSES.
   (D) ELECTRONIC MONITORING OF A PRINCIPAL'S LOCATION MAY BE FOR A MAXI-
 MUM  PERIOD  OF  SIXTY  DAYS,  AND MAY BE RENEWED FOR SUCH PERIOD, AFTER
 NOTICE, AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE HEARD AND A DE NOVO, INDIVIDUALIZED  DETER-
 MINATION  IN  ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SUBDIVISION, WHICH SHALL BE EXPLAINED
 ON THE RECORD OR IN WRITING.
   A DEFENDANT SUBJECT  TO  ELECTRONIC  LOCATION  MONITORING  UNDER  THIS
 SUBDIVISION SHALL BE CONSIDERED HELD OR CONFINED IN CUSTODY FOR PURPOSES
 OF  SECTION  180.80 OF THIS CHAPTER AND SHALL BE CONSIDERED COMMITTED TO
 THE CUSTODY OF THE SHERIFF FOR PURPOSES OF SECTION 170.70 OF  THE  CHAP-
 TER, AS APPLICABLE.
   5. IF A PRINCIPAL IS RELEASED UNDER NON-MONETARY CONDITIONS, THE COURT
 SHALL,  ON THE RECORD AND IN AN INDIVIDUALIZED WRITTEN DOCUMENT PROVIDED
 TO THE PRINCIPAL, NOTIFY THE PRINCIPAL, IN PLAIN LANGUAGE AND  A  MANNER
 SUFFICIENTLY CLEAR AND SPECIFIC:
   (A) OF ANY CONDITIONS TO WHICH THE PRINCIPAL IS SUBJECT, TO SERVE AS A
 GUIDE FOR THE PRINCIPAL'S CONDUCT; AND
   (B)  THAT  THE POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES FOR VIOLATION OF SUCH A CONDITION
 MAY INCLUDE REVOCATION OF THE SECURING ORDER AND THE ORDERING OF A  MORE
 RESTRICTIVE SECURING ORDER.

   (i)    The  district  attorney  has been heard in the matter or, after
 knowledge or notice of the application and reasonable opportunity to  be
 heard,  has  failed  to appear at the proceeding or has otherwise waived
 his right to do so; and
   (ii) The court [has] AND COUNSEL FOR THE DEFENDANT HAVE been furnished
 with a report of the division of criminal  justice  services  concerning
 the  defendant's  criminal  record,  if any, or with a police department
 report with respect to  the  defendant's  prior  arrest  AND  CONVICTION
 record,  IF  ANY.    If neither report is available, the court, with the
 consent of the district attorney, may dispense  with  this  requirement;
 provided,  however, that in an emergency, including but not limited to a
 substantial impairment in the ability of such division or police depart-
 ment to timely furnish such report, such consent shall not  be  required

 Order of recognizance, RELEASE UNDER NON-MONETARY CONDITIONS or bail; by
              superior court judge when action is pending in local crimi-
              nal court.
   1. When a criminal action is pending in a local criminal court,  other
 than  one  consisting of a superior court judge sitting as such, a judge
 of a superior court holding a term thereof in the county, upon  applica-
 tion  of a defendant, may order recognizance, RELEASE UNDER NON-MONETARY
 CONDITIONS or, WHERE AUTHORIZED, bail when such local criminal court:
   (a) Lacks authority to issue such an order, pursuant to [paragraph (a)
 of subdivision two] THE RELEVANT PROVISIONS of section  530.20  OF  THIS
 ARTICLE; or
   (b) Has denied an application for recognizance, RELEASE UNDER NON-MON-
 ETARY CONDITIONS or bail; or
   (c) Has fixed bail, WHERE AUTHORIZED, which is excessive; OR

 A. 6276                            15
 
   (D)  HAS SET A SECURING ORDER OF RELEASE UNDER NON-MONETARY CONDITIONS
 WHICH ARE MORE RESTRICTIVE  THAN  NECESSARY  TO  REASONABLY  ASSURE  THE
 DEFENDANT'S RETURN TO COURT.
   In  such  case, such superior court judge may vacate the order of such
 local criminal court and release the defendant on [his own] recognizance
 OR UNDER NON-MONETARY CONDITIONS, or WHERE AUTHORIZED,  fix  bail  in  a
 lesser  amount  or  in  a  less burdensome form, WHICHEVER ARE THE LEAST
 RESTRICTIVE ALTERNATIVE AND CONDITIONS THAT WILL REASONABLY  ASSURE  THE
 DEFENDANT'S  RETURN  TO  COURT.  THE  COURT  SHALL EXPLAIN ITS CHOICE OF
 ALTERNATIVE AND CONDITIONS ON THE RECORD OR IN WRITING.
   2.  Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivision one OF THIS SECTION,
 when the defendant is charged with a felony in a local criminal court, a
 superior court judge may not order recognizance, RELEASE UNDER NON-MONE-
 TARY CONDITIONS or, WHERE AUTHORIZED, bail unless and until the district
 attorney has had an opportunity to be heard in the matter and such judge
 [has] AND COUNSEL FOR THE DEFENDANT HAVE been furnished with a report as
 described in subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (b) of  subdivision  two  of
 section 530.20 OF THIS ARTICLE.
   §  18.  Section 530.40 of the criminal procedure law, subdivision 3 as

   When a criminal action is pending in a  superior  court,  such  court,
 upon  application of a defendant, must or may order recognizance or bail
 as follows:

 than  felony  grade  only,  the court must, UNLESS OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY
 LAW, order recognizance or [bail] RELEASE UNDER NON-MONETARY  CONDITIONS

   2.  When the defendant is charged with a felony, the court may, in its
 discretion, order recognizance [or], RELEASE UNDER  NON-MONETARY  CONDI-
 TIONS  OR,  WHERE AUTHORIZED, bail. In any such case in which an indict-
 ment (a) has resulted from an order of a local  criminal  court  holding
 the  defendant  for  the action of the grand jury, or (b) was filed at a
 time when a felony complaint charging the same conduct was pending in  a
 local  criminal court, and in which such local criminal court or a supe-
 rior court judge has issued an order of recognizance [or], RELEASE UNDER

 tive, the superior court's order may be  in  the  form  of  a  direction
 continuing the effectiveness of the previous order.

 RELEASE THE PRINCIPAL PENDING TRIAL ON THE PRINCIPAL'S OWN RECOGNIZANCE,
 UNLESS  THE  COURT FINDS ON THE RECORD OR IN WRITING THAT RELEASE ON THE

 RETURN  TO COURT. IN SUCH INSTANCES, THE COURT SHALL RELEASE THE PRINCI-
 PAL UNDER  NON-MONETARY  CONDITIONS,  SELECTING  THE  LEAST  RESTRICTIVE
 ALTERNATIVE  AND  CONDITIONS THAT WILL REASONABLY ASSURE THE PRINCIPAL'S

 SECOND DEGREE AS DEFINED IN SUBDIVISION ONE OF SECTION  160.10  OF  SUCH
 LAW  OR  REPORTING  A  FALSE INCIDENT IN THE SECOND DEGREE AS DEFINED IN

 COURT  SET  BAIL  IN  A NOMINAL AMOUNT REQUESTED BY THE DEFENDANT IN THE
 FORM SPECIFIED IN PARAGRAPH (A) OF SUBDIVISION ONE OF SECTION 520.10  OF
 THIS TITLE; IF THE COURT IS SATISFIED THAT THE REQUEST IS VOLUNTARY, THE

 IN SUBDIVISION TWO OF SECTION 510.50 OF THIS TITLE CONCERNING A  FAILURE
 TO APPEAR IN COURT, by a bench warrant if necessary, require the defend-
 ant  to  appear  before  the court. Upon such appearance, the court, for
 good cause shown, may revoke the order of  recognizance,  RELEASE  UNDER
 NON-MONETARY CONDITIONS, or bail. If the defendant is entitled to recog-
 nizance,  RELEASE  UNDER NON-MONETARY CONDITIONS, or bail as a matter of
 right, the court must issue another such  order.  If  [he  or  she]  THE
 DEFENDANT is not, the court may either issue such an order or commit the
 defendant to the custody of the sheriff IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION.
   Where  the defendant is committed to the custody of the sheriff and is

 SECTION 215.15, 215.16 or 215.17 of the penal law while at liberty.
   (B)  EXCEPT  AS  PROVIDED  IN PARAGRAPH (A) OF THIS SUBDIVISION OR ANY
 OTHER LAW, WHENEVER IN THE COURSE OF A CRIMINAL ACTION OR  PROCEEDING  A
 DEFENDANT  CHARGED  WITH THE COMMISSION OF AN OFFENSE IS AT LIBERTY AS A

 hold a hearing and shall receive any relevant, admissible  evidence  not
 legally  privileged.  The  defendant may cross-examine witnesses and may
 present relevant, admissible evidence on his own  behalf.  Such  hearing
 may  be  consolidated  with, and conducted at the same time as, a felony
 hearing conducted pursuant to article one hundred eighty of  this  chap-
 ter.  A transcript of testimony taken before the grand jury upon presen-
 tation of the subsequent offense shall be admissible as evidence  during
 the  hearing.    The  district attorney may move to introduce grand jury
 testimony of a witness in lieu of that witness' appearance at the  hear-
 ing.

 within the accusatory instrument charging the  subsequent  offense  such
 that  no  count remains which charges the defendant with commission of a

 [paragraph]  SUBPARAGRAPH, whichever is shortest, the court may grant or
 deny release upon an order of bail or recognizance  in  accordance  with

 A. 6276                            19
 
   [(c)]  (II) UNDER PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SUBDIVISION, REVOCATION OF THE
 ORDER OF RECOGNIZANCE, RELEASE UNDER NON-MONETARY CONDITIONS OR, AS  THE
 CASE  MAY  BE, BAIL SHALL RESULT IN THE ISSUANCE OF A NEW SECURING ORDER
 WHICH MAY, IF  OTHERWISE  AUTHORIZED  BY  LAW,  PERMIT  THE  PRINCIPAL'S
 RELEASE  ON  RECOGNIZANCE  OR RELEASE UNDER NON-MONETARY CONDITIONS, BUT
 SHALL ALSO RENDER THE  DEFENDANT  ELIGIBLE  FOR  AN  ORDER  FIXING  BAIL
 PROVIDED,  HOWEVER, THAT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PRINCIPLES IN THIS TITLE
 THE COURT MUST SELECT THE LEAST RESTRICTIVE ALTERNATIVE AND CONDITION OR
 CONDITIONS THAT WILL REASONABLY ASSURE THE PRINCIPAL'S RETURN TO  COURT.
 NOTHING  IN  THIS  SUBPARAGRAPH  SHALL  BE INTERPRETED AS SHORTENING THE
 PERIOD OF DETENTION, OR REQUIRING OR AUTHORIZING  ANY  LESS  RESTRICTIVE
 FORM  OF  A  SECURING  ORDER, WHICH MAY BE IMPOSED PURSUANT TO ANY OTHER
 LAW.
   (E) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a)  OR  (B)  of  this
 subdivision  a defendant, against whom a felony complaint has been filed
 which charges the defendant with commission of  a  class  A  or  violent
 felony  offense  OR VIOLATION OF SECTION 215.15, 215.16 OR 215.17 OF THE
 PENAL LAW committed while he was at liberty as specified therein, may be
 committed to the custody of the sheriff pending a revocation hearing for
 a period not to exceed seventy-two hours. An additional  period  not  to
 exceed seventy-two hours may be granted by the court upon application of
 the  district attorney upon a showing of good cause or where the failure
 to commence the hearing was due to the defendant's request  or  occurred
 with  his  consent. Such good cause must consist of some compelling fact
 or circumstance  which  precluded  conducting  the  hearing  within  the
 initial prescribed period.

 procedure law, as amended by chapter 258 of the laws of 2015, is amended
 to read as follows:
   (a)  If  at any time during the defendant's participation in the judi-
 cial diversion program, the court has reasonable grounds to believe that
 the defendant has violated a release condition IN AN  IMPORTANT  RESPECT
 or  has  WILLFULLY  failed  to appear before the court as requested, the
 court EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SUBDIVISION TWO OF SECTION  510.50  OF  THIS
 CHAPTER  REGARDING  A  FAILURE  TO APPEAR, shall direct the defendant to
 appear or issue a bench warrant to a police officer  or  an  appropriate
 peace  officer  directing  him or her to take the defendant into custody
 and bring the defendant before  the  court  without  unnecessary  delay;
 provided,  however,  that  under  no circumstances shall a defendant who

 violated a release condition on the basis of his or her participation in
 medically  prescribed  drug  treatments  under the care of a health care
 professional licensed or certified under title eight  of  the  education
 law,  acting  within  his or her lawful scope of practice.  The RELEVANT

 [or], fix bail, RELEASE SUCH PERSON  UNDER  NON-MONETARY  CONDITIONS  or
 release  such  person on [his] SUCH PERSON'S own recognizance for future
