This bill prohibits Tennessee magistrates from considering a defendant's financial situation when setting bail amounts. The law requires judges to focus solely on ensuring the defendant appears in court and protecting public safety, rather than whether the person can afford to pay. By removing financial condition from the legal criteria, the measure aims to prevent wealth from influencing bail decisions. This change applies to all criminal cases where bail is set in Tennessee.
