Establishes rebuttable presumption that person charged with theft of motor vehicle be detained prior to trial under certain circumstances.

This bill (A3916) creates a rebuttable presumption requiring pretrial detention for defendants charged with motor vehicle theft (N.J.S.2C:20-2) if, during the theft, they caused death or serious bodily injury to another person or created a substantial risk of such harm. It directly affects individuals facing this specific theft charge with aggravating conduct. The key mechanism shifts the burden to the defendant to prove, by a preponderance of evidence, that release conditions (like bail or supervision) would reasonably assure court appearance and community safety. This changes existing law by adding motor vehicle theft with injury risk to the list of offenses where detention is presumed unless rebutted.
