SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Release of a sex offender on bail. Extends the presumption against bail to situations where a person is arrested for a sex offense enumerated in § 18.2-67.5:2 and the person had previously been convicted of an offense that is substantially similar to one listed in § 18.2-67.5:2 under the laws of another state or the United States. Current law does not specify that an offense in another jurisdiction creates the same presumption as an enumerated Virginia offense.
