        AN  ACT  to  amend  the  criminal procedure law, in relation to bail and
          pre-trial detention and domestic violence charges

          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:

     1    Section 1. Section 510.10 of the criminal procedure law, as amended by
     2  section  2 of part JJJ of chapter 59 of the laws of 2019 and subdivision
     3  4 as amended by section 2 of part UU of chapter 56 of the laws of  2020,
     4  is amended to read as follows:
     5  § 510.10 Securing order; when required; alternatives available; standard
     6             to be applied.
     7    1.  When  a  principal,  whose  future  court attendance at a criminal
     8  action or proceeding is or may be required, comes under the control of a
     9  court, such court shall, in accordance with this title,  by  a  securing
    10  order release the principal on the principal's own recognizance, release
    11  the  principal  under non-monetary conditions, or, where authorized, fix
    12  bail or commit the principal to the custody of the sheriff. In all  such
    13  cases,  except  where  another  type  of  securing  order is shown to be
    14  required by law, the court shall release the principal pending trial  on
    15  the  principal's  own  recognizance,  unless  it is demonstrated and the
    16  court makes an individualized determination that the principal  poses  a
    17  risk  of  flight  to  avoid  prosecution. If such a finding is made, the
    18  court must select the least restrictive  alternative  and  condition  or
    19  conditions  that will reasonably assure the principal's return to court.
    20  The court shall explain its choice of release, release with  conditions,
    21  bail or remand on the record or in writing.
    22    2.  A  principal  is  entitled to representation by counsel under this
    23  chapter in preparing an application for release, when a  securing  order
    24  is  being  considered  and  when  a securing order is being reviewed for
    25  modification, revocation or termination. If the principal is financially
    26  unable to obtain counsel, counsel shall be assigned to the principal.
    27    3. In cases other than as described in [subdivision] subdivisions four
    28  and five of this section the court shall release the  principal  pending

        A. 10342                            2

     1  trial on the principal's own recognizance, unless the court finds on the
     2  record  or  in  writing that release on the principal's own recognizance
     3  will not reasonably assure the principal's  return  to  court.  In  such
     4  instances,  the  court  shall  release  the principal under non-monetary
     5  conditions, selecting the least restrictive alternative  and  conditions
     6  that  will  reasonably assure the principal's return to court. The court
     7  shall explain its choice of alternative and conditions on the record  or
     8  in writing.
     9    4.  Where  the principal stands charged with a qualifying offense, the
    10  court, unless otherwise prohibited by law, may in its discretion release
    11  the principal pending trial on the principal's own recognizance or under
    12  non-monetary conditions, fix bail, or, where the  defendant  is  charged
    13  with  a  qualifying  offense which is a felony, the court may commit the
    14  principal to the custody of the sheriff. A principal stands charged with

    43  misdemeanor involving  harm  to  an  identifiable  person  or  property,
    44  provided,  however,  that  the  prosecutor must show reasonable cause to
    45  believe that the defendant committed the instant crime and any  underly-
    46  ing  crime. For the purposes of this subparagraph, any of the underlying
    47  crimes need not be a qualifying offense as defined in this subdivision.
    48    (c) Where the principal stands charged with a crime or crimes  against
    49  a  member  or  members  of  the same family or household as that term is

    51  unless otherwise prohibited by law, may in its  discretion  release  the
    52  principal  pending  trial  on  the principal's own recognizance or under
    53  non-monetary conditions, fix bail, or commit the principal to the custo-
    54  dy of the sheriff.

        A. 10342                            7

     1  is not ordered, and for which the court would not or could not otherwise
     2  require bail or remand, a defendant may, at any time, request  that  the
     3  court  set  bail  in  a nominal amount requested by the defendant in the
     4  form  specified in paragraph (a) of subdivision one of section 520.10 of
     5  this title; if the court is satisfied that the request is voluntary, the
     6  court shall set such bail in such amount.
     7    § 4. Section 530.40 of the  criminal  procedure  law,  as  amended  by
     8  section 18 of part JJJ of chapter 59 of the laws of 2019 and subdivision
     9  4  as amended by section 4 of part UU of chapter 56 of the laws of 2020,
    10  is amended to read as follows:
    11  § 530.40 Order of recognizance, release under non-monetary conditions or
    12             bail; by superior court when action is pending therein.
    13    When a criminal action is pending in a  superior  court,  such  court,
    14  upon  application of a defendant, must or may order recognizance or bail
    15  as follows:
    16    1. When the defendant is charged with an offense or offenses  of  less
    17  than  felony  grade  only,  the court must, unless otherwise provided by
    18  law, order recognizance or  release  under  non-monetary  conditions  in
    19  accordance with this section.
    20    2.  When the defendant is charged with a felony, the court may, unless
    21  otherwise provided by law in its discretion, order recognizance, release
    22  under non-monetary conditions or, where authorized, bail.  In  any  such
    23  case  in  which  an indictment (a) has resulted from an order of a local
    24  criminal court holding the defendant for the action of the  grand  jury,
    25  or  (b)  was  filed  at a time when a felony complaint charging the same
    26  conduct was pending in a local criminal court, and in which  such  local
    27  criminal court or a superior court judge has issued an order of recogni-
    28  zance,  release under non-monetary conditions or, where authorized, bail
    29  which is still effective, the superior court's order may be in the  form
    30  of a direction continuing the effectiveness of the previous order.
    31    3. In cases other than as described in [subdivision] subdivisions four
    32  and  five  of this section the court shall release the principal pending
    33  trial on the principal's own recognizance, unless the court finds on the
    34  record or in writing that release on the  principal's  own  recognizance
    35  will  not  reasonably  assure  the  principal's return to court. In such
    36  instances, the court shall  release  the  principal  under  non-monetary
    37  conditions,  selecting  the least restrictive alternative and conditions
    38  that will reasonably assure the principal's return to court.  The  court
    39  shall  explain its choice of alternative and conditions on the record or
    40  in writing.
    41    4. Where the principal stands charged with a qualifying  offense,  the
    42  court, unless otherwise prohibited by law, may in its discretion release
    43  the principal pending trial on the principal's own recognizance or under
    44  non-monetary  conditions,  fix  bail, or, where the defendant is charged
    45  with a qualifying offense which is a felony, the court  may  commit  the
    46  principal  to  the  custody  of the sheriff. The court shall explain its
    47  choice of release, release with conditions, bail or remand on the record
    48  or in writing. A principal stands charged with a qualifying offense  for
    49  the purposes of this subdivision when he or she stands charged with:
    50    (a)  a felony enumerated in section 70.02 of the penal law, other than
    51  robbery in the second degree as defined in subdivision  one  of  section
    52  160.10  of the penal law, provided, however, that burglary in the second
    53  degree as defined in subdivision two of section 140.25 of the penal  law
    54  shall  be  a qualifying offense only where the defendant is charged with
    55  entering the living area of the dwelling;
