§ 530.60 CERTAIN MODIFICATIONS OF A SECURING ORDER.
1. WHENEVER IN THE COURSE OF A CRIMINAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING A DEFEND-
ANT IS AT LIBERTY AS A RESULT OF AN ORDER OF RECOGNIZANCE, RELEASE UNDER
NON-MONETARY CONDITIONS OR BAIL ISSUED PURSUANT TO THIS CHAPTER, AND THE
COURT CONSIDERS IT NECESSARY TO REVIEW SUCH ORDER, WHETHER DUE TO A
MOTION BY THE PEOPLE OR OTHERWISE, THE COURT MAY, BY A BENCH WARRANT IF
NECESSARY, REQUIRE THE DEFENDANT 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 RECOGNIZANCE, RELEASE UNDER NON-MONETARY CONDI-
TIONS, OR BAIL AS A MATTER OF RIGHT, THE COURT MUST ISSUE ANOTHER SUCH
ORDER. IF 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.
FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS SUBDIVISION, "GOOD CAUSE" SHALL MEAN: THE
PRINCIPAL FAILED TO APPEAR; THE PRINCIPAL HAS VIOLATED A COURT ORDER; OR
THAT THE COURT IS SATISFIED BY A PREPONDERANCE OF THE EVIDENCE THAT THE
PRINCIPAL HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH ANY CRIME SINCE THE ORDER OF RECOGNI-
ZANCE, RELEASE UNDER NON-MONETARY CONDITIONS, OR BAIL WAS ENTERED.
WHERE THE DEFENDANT IS COMMITTED TO THE CUSTODY OF THE SHERIFF AND IS
HELD ON A FELONY COMPLAINT, A NEW PERIOD AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 180.80
OF THIS CHAPTER SHALL COMMENCE TO RUN FROM THE TIME OF THE DEFENDANT'S
COMMITMENT UNDER THIS SUBDIVISION UNLESS THE DEFENDANT PREVIOUSLY WAIVED
OR CONDUCTED THEIR PRELIMINARY HEARING.
2. NOTWITHSTANDING THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 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 RESULT OF A
SECURING ORDER ISSUED PURSUANT TO THIS ARTICLE OR SECTION 510.10 OF THIS
TITLE IT SHALL BE GROUNDS FOR REVOKING SUCH ORDER AND COMMITTING SUCH
DEFENDANT TO THE CUSTODY OF THE SHERIFF WHEN THE COURT HAS FOUND, BY A
PREPONDERANCE OF THE EVIDENCE, THAT THE DEFENDANT STANDS CHARGED IN SUCH
ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH AN OFFENSE AND, AFTER BEING SO CHARGED,
COMMITTED A SUBSEQUENT OFFENSE WHILE AT LIBERTY AND, AFTER BEING SO
CHARGED ON SUCH SUBSEQUENT OFFENSE, COMMITTED A FURTHER SUBSEQUENT
