An Act requiring only a justice to remove a trial default of a defendant who fails to appear at trial

This bill requires that only a judge (justice) can remove a trial default for a defendant who fails to appear for trial. It specifies that defendants arrested under a "Trial Default Warrant" must have their release on bail handled solely by a judge in the issuing court or the district where the warrant was executed, and they may be required to pay court costs unless waived by the judge. The bill also mandates that such warrants must be clearly labeled as "Trial Default Warrant" in court records, the criminal offender registry, and the state warrant system. This directly affects defendants who miss trial dates and the courts processing their cases, ensuring consistent handling of these specific warrants.
