A 8753 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

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

This bill amends New York's criminal procedure law to add terrorism-related money laundering crimes and felony terrorism offenses to the list of charges that automatically deny bail. It specifically affects individuals charged with money laundering supporting terrorism (across four degrees) or felony terrorism under New York Penal Law, excluding one specific terrorism crime. The key change requires courts to deny bail for these offenses, aligning them with existing bail-denial criteria for other serious crimes. The bill does not alter the definition of "terroristic threat" but expands the scope of terrorism-related offenses impacting bail eligibility.
