Establishes rebuttable presumption that person charged with certain firearm offenses be detained prior to trial.

This bill establishes a rebuttable presumption requiring courts to detain defendants charged with specific firearm offenses before trial, unless the defendant proves otherwise. It directly affects individuals accused of possessing a firearm during the commission of another crime or violating a firearm prohibition (e.g., after a conviction for a serious offense under N.J.S.2C:39-7). Under the bill, if a court finds probable cause for these offenses, the defendant must be detained pending trial unless they demonstrate by a preponderance of evidence that release conditions would ensure court appearance and community safety. The presumption can be challenged at a hearing where the defendant may present evidence, but the burden shifts to them to rebut the detention requirement. This applies specifically to firearm-related charges, not general pretrial detention rules.
