HB 636 Appeal of bail decision; court is determined based on where initial determination was made, etc.

Introduced by: Ward L. Armstrong | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Appeal of bail decision. Specifies the court to which a bail decision, bond amount, or term of recognizance should be appealed. The proper court is determined based on where the initial determination was made and the court in which the charge is pending. The bill also provides that the attorney for the Commonwealth may appeal any bail, bond or recognizance decision, consequently a decision made by a judicial officer (including a magistrate or clerk) will be appealable. Current law limits such appeals from a court decision only, and only upon objection in court by the attorney for the Commonwealth.
