HB811:

Admission to bail; rebuttable presumptions against bail.

Bill Summary:

Admission to bail; rebuttable presumptions against
bail. Creates a rebuttable presumption against bail for certain
criminal offenses enumerated in the bill and for persons identified
as being illegally present in the United States by U.S. Immigration
and Customs Enforcement who are charged with certain offenses. The
bill also provides that a magistrate, clerk, or deputy clerk of a
district court or circuit court shall not admit to bail, that is
not set by a judge, any person who is charged with an offense giving
rise to a rebuttable presumption against bail without the concurrence
of an attorney for the Commonwealth. The bill also requires the court
to consider specified factors when determining whether the presumption
against bail has been rebutted and whether there are appropriate
conditions of release.
