A 4476 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Clarifies procedures for revocation of pretrial release for certain defendants.

This bill clarifies court procedures for revoking pretrial release in New Jersey. It requires courts to find clear evidence that no bail or release conditions would ensure court appearance and public safety before revoking release for defendants who violate conditions or commit new crimes while on pretrial release. Courts must also consider risk assessments for new charges when making revocation decisions. The bill specifically prohibits revoking release solely for minor marijuana offenses (like possession under N.J.S.2C:35-10). It directly affects defendants on pretrial release and the courts handling their cases.
