S 9603 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Establishes that making a terroristic threat is a qualifying offense for bail

This bill updates New York State law to include making a terroristic threat as a specific crime that qualifies for bail eligibility. It achieves this by amending existing sections of the Criminal Procedure Law to list terroristic threats alongside other serious terrorism-related offenses, such as money laundering in support of terrorism. The changes apply to the legal processes for granting bail in cases involving these designated crimes, ensuring they are treated consistently with other felony terrorism charges. The legislation does not alter the definition of the crime itself but rather adjusts the procedural rules regarding pre-trial release for individuals charged with it.
