S 1056 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Smarter Pretrial Detention for Drug Charges Act of 2023

This bill amends federal pretrial detention rules for drug-related cases by updating a legal citation reference and reorganizing detention condition provisions. It directly affects federal courts and prosecutors handling drug charges, as it modifies Section 3142 of Title 18 (which governs pretrial release decisions). The key changes involve replacing outdated statutory references and restructuring the order of detention condition criteria. This is a technical procedural update to existing law, not a substantive policy change.
