Staff Analysis of the Legislation

Under current law, individuals charged with "bail restricted offenses" (i.e., aggravated assault, aggravated battery, hijacking a motor vehicle, aggravated stalking, child molestation, pimping, robbery, bail jumping, street gang activity, etc.) may not be released on their own recognizance to participate a pretrial release program, pretrial diversion program or intervention program unless  a magistrate or elected state or superior court judge enters a written order.  HB 32 removes the ability of those charged with bail restricted offenses to be released on their own recognizance to participate in these pretrial programs.  The bill also removes the crimes of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs and habitual violator from the list of bail restricted offenses.
