SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE:

Criminal procedure; admission to bail.  Provides that a magistrate, clerk, or deputy clerk may not admit to bail a person who is charged with an offense giving rise to a rebuttable presumption against bail unless an attorney for the Commonwealth concurs or the bail previously was set by a judge. A judge may set or admit such person to bail after notice and an opportunity to be heard has been provided to the attorney for the Commonwealth.

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Criminal procedure; admission to bail. Where a person is charged with an offense giving rise to a rebuttable presumption against bail, gives the attorney for the Commonwealth an opportunity to have notice of the bond hearing and the opportunity to present additional facts to the court that the court may need to make a fair decision.
