S 3117 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Provides that persons arrested for domestic violence forfeit bail when violating an order of protection

This bill requires individuals arrested for domestic violence to forfeit any bail they've posted if they later violate an existing order of protection. It applies specifically to people charged with domestic violence offenses who break court-issued protection orders, including those from New York courts or other states/tribes. The law automatically takes away the bail money without needing a separate court hearing. This directly affects individuals arrested for domestic violence who disregard protection orders, changing the consequence of violating those orders from potential additional penalties to losing their bail.
