A 4056 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to authorizing bail for certain offenses committed during a riot

This bill (A 4056) allows defendants charged with specific offenses committed during a riot to seek bail. It amends criminal procedure law to add new eligibility for bail for "any felony or class A misdemeanor involving harm to an identifiable person or property" when the offense occurred during a riot (as defined in New York Penal Law Article 240). The bill directly affects individuals facing these charges who would otherwise be ineligible for bail under current rules. It does not change general bail standards but expands eligibility for riot-related offenses meeting the specified criteria.
