Subdivision 1 of section 510.10 of the criminal procedure law, as amended by section 2 of part JJJ of chapter 59 of the laws of 2019, is amended to read as follows: 1. When a principal, whose future court attendance at a criminal action or proceeding is or may be required, comes under the control of a court, such court shall, in accordance with this title, by a securing order release the principal on the principal's own recognizance, release the principal under non-monetary conditions, or, where authorized, fix bail or commit the principal to the custody of the sheriff. In all such cases, except where another type of securing order is shown to be required by law, the court shall release the principal pending trial on the principal's own recognizance, unless it is demonstrated and the court makes an individualized determination that the principal poses a risk of flight to avoid prosecution[. If such a finding is made, the court must select the least restrictive alternative and condition or conditions that will reasonably assure the principal's return to court] OR IT IS DEMONSTRATED AND THE COURT MAKES AN INDIVIDUALIZED DETERMI- NATION BASED ON THE PRINCIPAL'S RECORD OF A PRIOR FELONY CONVICTION, A FAILURE TO APPEAR IN COURT OR IF THE PRINCIPAL IS ARRESTED DURING THE INTERIM PERIOD WHILE AWAITING A PRELIMINARY HEARING OR TRIAL. The court shall explain its choice of release, release with conditions, bail or remand on the record or in writing. § 2. This act shall take effect immediately. EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted. LBD04305-01-1
