This is a substitute for Senate Bill No. 11. Like Senate Bill No. 11, this Act is the first leg of a constitutional amendment to modernize the bail provisions within the Delaware Constitution and clarify the power of the General Assembly to enumerate certain felony offenses for which, or circumstances under which, pretrial release on bail may not be allowed. And, like Senate Bill No. 11, any statute designating a felony offense for which a person can be subjected to pretrial detention without bail must be enacted by an act of the General Assembly that receives the concurrence of a two-thirds majority of each House of the General Assembly.

An Act Proposing An Amendment To Article I Of The Delaware Constitution Relating To Criminal Procedures.

Sen. Bryan Townsend [D]	Rep. Nnamdi Chukwuocha [D]	Sen. Stephanie Hansen [D]	Sen. David Sokola [D]
