Maddy summaryThis bill amends New York's criminal procedure law to explicitly include arson felonies in the list of offenses where bail or pre-trial detention may be authorized. It adds "arson in the fourth degree" and "arson in the third degree" to existing provisions governing bail decisions for crimes involving harm to people or property. The law requires prosecutors to show reasonable cause that the defendant committed both the arson charge and any underlying crime, though courts may still release defendants if property harm is deemed negligible and unrelated to other criminal activity.
