HB 2204 Misdemeanants; release on bond.

Introduced by: James F. Almand | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Release on bond. Clarifies that the conditions of release in subsection A apply to misdemeanors as well as felonies. House Bill 1533 (2000) added the first two sentences of subsection A providing that certain persons arrested for a felony could be released only on secure bond. The felony language added in 2000 created confusion as to whether the conditions of release still applied to misdemeanors. This bill is a recommendation of the Committee on District Courts.
