There is no requirement that a person present13photographic identification in order to be issued an appearance ticket14in lieu of arrest where the person's identity is otherwise verifiable;15however, if offered by such person, an officer shall accept as evidence16of identity the following: a valid driver's license or non-driver iden-17tification card issued by the commissioner of motor vehicles, the feder-18al government, any United States territory, commonwealth or possession,19the District of Columbia, a state government or municipal government20within the United States or a provincial government of the dominion of21Canada; a valid passport issued by the United States government or any22other country; an identification card issued by the armed forces of the23United States; a public benefit card, as defined in paragraph (a) of24subdivision one of section 158.00 of the penal law;25(iv) the person is charged with a crime between members of the same26family or household, as defined in subdivision one of section 530.11 of27this chapter;28(v) the person is charged with a crime defined in article 130 of the29penal law;30(vi) it reasonably appears the person should be brought before the31court for consideration of issuance of an order of protection, pursuant32to section 530.13 of this chapter, based on the facts of the crime or33offense that the officer has reasonable cause to believe occurred;34(vii) the person is charged with a crime for which the court may35suspend or revoke his or her driver license;36(viii) it reasonably appears to the officer, based on the observed37behavior of the individual in the present contact with the officer and38facts regarding the person's condition that indicates a sign of distress39to such a degree that the person would face harm without immediate40medical or mental health care, that bringing the person before the court41would be in such person's interest in addressing that need; provided,42however, that before making the arrest, the officer shall make all43reasonable efforts to assist the person in securing appropriate44services;45(ix) the person is eighteen years of age or older and charged with46criminal possession of a weapon on school grounds as defined in section47265.01-a of the penal law;48(x) the person is eighteen years of age or older and charged with a49hate crime as defined in section 485.05 of the penal law; or50(xi) the offense is a qualifying offense pursuant to paragraph (t) of51subdivision four of section 510.10 of this chapter, or pursuant to para-52graph (t) of subdivision four of section 530.40 of this chapter.] 53 § 3.

Upon the posting thereof, said officer must issue and serve an 43 appearance ticket upon the arrested person, give a receipt for the bail, 44 and release such person from custody. 45 4.

[In all such cases, except where another type of securing order47is shown to be required by law, the court shall release the principal48pending trial on the principal's own recognizance, unless it is demon-49strated and the court makes an individualized determination that the50principal poses a risk of flight to avoid prosecution. If such a finding51is made, the court must select the least restrictive alternative and52condition or conditions that will reasonably assure the principal's53return to court. The court shall explain its choice of release, release54with conditions, bail or remand on the record or in writing. In making55its determination, the court must consider and take into account avail-56able information about the principal, including:S. 5017 5 1(a) The principal's activities and history;2(b) If the principal is a defendant, the charges facing the principal;3(c) The principal's criminal conviction record if any;4(d) The principal's record of previous adjudication as a juvenile5delinquent, as retained pursuant to section 354.1 of the family court6act, or, of pending cases where fingerprints are retained pursuant to7section 306.1 of such act, or a youthful offender, if any;8(e) The principal's previous record with respect to flight to avoid9criminal prosecution;10(f) If monetary bail is authorized, according to the restrictions set11forth in this title, the principal's individual financial circumstances,12and, in cases where bail is authorized, the principal's ability to post13bail without posing undue hardship, as well as his or her ability to14obtain a secured, unsecured, or partially secured bond;15(g) Any violation by the principal of an order of protection issued by16any court;17(h) The principal's history of use or possession of a firearm;18(i) Whether the charge is alleged to have caused serious harm to an19individual or group of individuals; and20(j) If the principal is a defendant, in the case of an application for21a securing order pending appeal, the merit or lack of merit of the22appeal.232.

In cases other than as described in subdivision four of this29section the court shall release the principal pending trial on the prin-30cipal's own recognizance, unless the court finds on the record or in31writing that release on the principal's own recognizance will not32reasonably assure the principal's return to court. In such instances,33the court shall release the principal under non-monetary conditions,34selecting the least restrictive alternative and conditions that will35reasonably assure the principal's return to court. The court shall36explain its choice of alternative and conditions on the record or in37writing.384. Where the principal stands charged with a qualifying offense, the39court, unless otherwise prohibited by law, may in its discretion release40the principal pending trial on the principal's own recognizance or under41non-monetary conditions, fix bail, or, where the defendant is charged42with a qualifying offense which is a felony, the court may commit the43principal to the custody of the sheriff.

Upon any occasion when a court [has issued] is required to issue a 11 securing order with respect to a principal [and the], or at any time 12 when a principal is confined in the custody of the sheriff as a result 13 of the securing order or a previously issued securing order, the princi- 14 pal may make an application for recognizance[, release under non-mone-15tary conditions] or bail. 16 2.

If the principal is finan-18cially unable to obtain counsel, counsel shall be assigned to the prin-19cipal.20(b)] Upon such application, the principal must be accorded an opportu- 21 nity to be heard[, present evidence] and to contend that an order of 22 recognizance[, release under non-monetary conditions] or[, where author-23ized,] bail must or should issue, that the court should release the 24 principal on the principal's own recognizance [or under non-monetary25conditions] rather than fix bail, and that if bail is [authorized and] 26 fixed it should be in a suggested amount and form. 27 § 10. Section 510.30 of the criminal procedure law, as amended by 28 section 5 of part JJJ of chapter 59 of the laws of 2019, and subdivision 29 1 as amended by section 2 of subpart C of part UU of chapter 56 of the 30 laws of 2022, is amended to read as follows: 31 § 510.30 Application for [securing order] recognizance or bail; rules of 32 law and criteria controlling determination. 33 1. Determinations of applications for recognizance or bail are not in 34 all cases discretionary but are subject to rules, prescribed in article 35 five hundred thirty of this title and other provisions of law relating 36 to specific kinds of criminal actions and proceedings, providing (a) 37 that in some circumstances such an application must as a matter of law 38 be granted, (b) that in others it must as a matter of law be denied and 39 the principal committed to or retained in the custody of the sheriff, 40 and (c) that in others the granting or denial thereof is a matter of 41 judicial discretion. 42 2. To the extent that the issuance of an order of recognizance or bail 43 and the terms thereof are matters of discretion rather than of law, an 44 application is determined on the basis of the following factors and 45 criteria: 46 (a) With respect to any principal, the court [in all cases, unless47otherwise provided by law,] must [impose the least restrictive] consider 48 the kind and degree of control or restriction that is necessary to 49 secure the principal's return to court when required. In determining 50 that matter, the court must, on the basis of available information, 51 consider and take into account [information about the principal that is52relevant to the principal's return to court, including:53(a) The principal's activities and history;54(b) If the principal is a defendant, the charges facing the principal;55(c)]:S. 5017 9 1 (i) The principal's character, reputation, habits and mental condi- 2 tion; 3 (ii) the principal's employment and financial resources; 4 (iii) The principal's family ties and the length of his or her resi- 5 dence if any in the community; 6 (iv) The principal's criminal [conviction] record if any; 7 [(d)] (v) The principal's record of previous adjudication as a juve- 8 nile delinquent, as retained pursuant to section 354.2 of the family 9 court act, or, of pending cases where fingerprints are retained pursuant 10 to section 306.1 of such act, or a youthful offender, if any; 11 [(e)] (vi) The principal's previous record if any in responding to 12 court appearances when required or with respect to flight to avoid crim- 13 inal prosecution; 14 [(f) If monetary bail is authorized, according to the restrictions set15forth in this title, the principal's individual financial circumstances,16and, in cases where bail is authorized, the principal's ability to post17bail without posing undue hardship, as well as his or her ability to18obtain a secured, unsecured, or partially secured bond;19(g) any] (vii) Any violation by the principal of an order of 20 protection issued by any court; 21 [(h) the] (viii) The principal's history of use or possession of a 22 firearm; 23 [(i) whether] (ix) Whether the charge is alleged to have caused seri- 24 ous harm to an individual or group of individuals; [and25(j)] (x) If the principal is a defendant, the weight of the evidence 26 against him or her in the pending criminal action and any other factor 27 indicating probability or improbability of conviction; or, in the case 28 of an application for [a securing order] bail or recognizance pending 29 appeal, the merit or lack of merit of the appeal; and 30 (xi) If he or she is a defendant, the sentence which may be or has 31 been imposed upon conviction. 32 [2.] (b) Where the principal is a defendant-appellant in a pending 33 appeal from a judgment of conviction, the court must also consider the 34 likelihood of ultimate reversal of the judgment. A determination that 35 the appeal is palpably without merit alone justifies, but does not 36 require, a denial of the application, regardless of any determination 37 made with respect to the factors specified in paragraph (a) of this 38 subdivision [one of this section]. 39 3. When bail or recognizance is ordered, the court shall inform the 40 principal, if the principal is a defendant charged with the commission 41 of a felony, that the release is conditional and that the court may 42 revoke the order of release and may be authorized to commit the princi- 43 pal to the custody of the sheriff in accordance with the provisions of 44 subdivision two of section 530.60 of this [chapter] title if the princi- 45 pal commits a subsequent felony while at liberty upon such order. 46 § 11. Section 510.40 of the criminal procedure law, as amended by 47 section 6 of part JJJ of chapter 59 of the laws of 2019 and paragraph 48 (c) of subdivision 4 as amended by section 7 of part UU of chapter 56 of 49 the laws of 2020, is amended to read as follows: 50 § 510.40 [Court notification to principal of conditions of release and51of alleged violations of conditions of release] Application 52 for recognizance or bail; determination thereof, form of 53 securing order and execution thereof. 54 1. An application for recognizance or bail must be determined by a 55 securing order which either:S. 5017 10 1 (a) Grants the application and releases the principal on his or her 2 own recognizance; or 3 (b) Grants the application and fixes bail; or 4 (c) Denies the application and commits the principal to, or retains 5 him or her in, the custody of the sheriff. 6 2. Upon ordering that a principal be released on the principal's own 7 recognizance, [or released under non-monetary conditions, or, if bail8has been fixed, upon the posting of bail,] the court must direct the 9 principal to appear in the criminal action or proceeding involved when- 10 ever the principal's attendance may be required and to [be] render the 11 principal at all times amenable to the orders and processes of the 12 court. If such principal is in the custody of the sheriff or at liberty 13 upon bail at the time of the order, the court must direct that the prin- 14 cipal be discharged from such custody or, as the case may be, that the 15 principal's bail be exonerated. 16 [2.] 3. Upon the issuance of an order fixing bail[, where authorized,] 17 and upon the posting thereof, the court must examine the bail to deter- 18 mine whether it complies with the order. If it does, the court must, in 19 the absence of some factor or circumstance which in law requires or 20 authorizes disapproval thereof, approve the bail and must issue a 21 certificate of release, authorizing the principal to be at liberty, and, 22 if the principal is in the custody of the sheriff at the time, directing 23 the sheriff to discharge the principal therefrom. If the bail fixed is 24 not posted, or is not approved after being posted, the court must order 25 that the principal be committed to the custody of the sheriff. [In the26event of any such non-approval, the court shall explain promptly in27writing the reasons therefor.283. Non-monetary conditions of release shall be individualized and29established in writing by the court. At future court appearances, the30court shall consider a lessening of conditions or modification of condi-31tions to a less burdensome form based on the principal's compliance with32such conditions of release. In the event of alleged non-compliance with33the conditions of release in an important respect, pursuant to this34subdivision, additional conditions may be imposed by the court, on the35record or in writing, only after notice of the facts and circumstances36of such alleged non-compliance, reasonable under the circumstances,37affording the principal and the principal's attorney and the people an38opportunity to present relevant, admissible evidence, relevant witnesses39and to cross-examine witnesses, and a finding by clear and convincing40evidence that the principal violated a condition of release in an impor-41tant respect. Following such a finding, in determining whether to impose42additional conditions for non-compliance, the court shall consider and43may select conditions consistent with the court's obligation to impose44the least restrictive condition or conditions that will reasonably45assure the defendant's return to court. The court shall explain on the46record or in writing the reasons for its determination and for any47changes to the conditions imposed.484. (a) Electronic monitoring of a principal's location may be ordered49only if the court finds, after notice, an opportunity to be heard and an50individualized determination explained on the record or in writing, that51the defendant qualifies for electronic monitoring in accordance with52subdivision twenty-one of section 500.10 of this title, and no other53realistic non-monetary condition or set of non-monetary conditions will54suffice to reasonably assure a principal's return to court.55(b) The specific method of electronic monitoring of the principal's56location must be approved by the court. It must be the least restrictiveS. 5017 11 1procedure and method that will reasonably assure the principal's return2to court, and unobtrusive to the greatest extent practicable.3(c) Electronic monitoring of the location of a principal may be4conducted only by a public entity under the supervision and control of a5county or municipality or a non-profit entity under contract to the6county, municipality or the state. A county or municipality shall be7authorized to enter into a contract with another county or municipality8in the state to monitor principals under non-monetary conditions of9release in its county, but counties, municipalities and the state shall10not contract with any private for-profit entity for such purposes.11Counties, municipalities and the state may contract with a private for-12profit entity to supply electronic monitoring devices or other items,13provided that any interaction with persons under electronic monitoring14or the data produced by such monitoring shall be conducted solely by15employees of a county, municipality, the state, or a non-profit entity16under contract with such county, municipality or the state.17(d) Electronic monitoring of a principal's location may be for a maxi-18mum period of sixty days, and may be renewed for such period, after19notice, an opportunity to be heard and a de novo, individualized deter-20mination in accordance with this subdivision, which shall be explained21on the record or in writing.22A defendant subject to electronic location monitoring under this23subdivision shall be considered held or confined in custody for purposes24of section 180.80 of this chapter and shall be considered committed to25the custody of the sheriff for purposes of section 170.70 of the chap-26ter, as applicable.275. If a principal is released under non-monetary conditions, the court28shall, on the record and in an individualized written document provided29to the principal, notify the principal, in plain language and a manner30sufficiently clear and specific:31(a) of any conditions to which the principal is subject, to serve as a32guide for the principal's conduct; and33(b) that the possible consequences for violation of such a condition34may include revocation of the securing order and the ordering of a more35restrictive securing order.] 36 § 12.

If the princi- 46 pal is at liberty on the principal's own recognizance [or non-monetary47conditions] or on bail, the principal's attendance may be achieved or 48 compelled by various methods, including notification and the issuance of 49 a bench warrant, prescribed by law in provisions governing such matters 50 with respect to the particular kind of action or proceeding involved. 51 [2. Except when the principal is charged with a new crime while at52liberty, absent relevant, credible evidence demonstrating that a princi-53pal's failure to appear for a scheduled court appearance was willful,54the court, prior to issuing a bench warrant for a failure to appear for55a scheduled court appearance, shall provide at least forty-eight hours56notice to the principal or the principal's counsel that the principal isS. 5017 12 1required to appear, in order to give the principal an opportunity to2appear voluntarily.] 3 § 14.

The failure of the prosecution to call as a witness a person speci- 13 fied in subdivision one of section 240.20 of this article or of any 14 party to introduce disclosed material at the trial shall not, by itself, 15 constitute grounds for any sanction or for adverse comment thereupon by 16 any party in summation to the jury or at any other point. 17 3. A fee for copies of records required to be disclosed may be 18 charged. Such fee shall not exceed twenty-five cents per photocopy not 19 in excess of nine inches by fourteen inches, or the actual cost of 20 reproducing any other record, except when a different fee is otherwise 21 prescribed by law. 22 § 240.75 Certain violations. 23 The failure of the prosecutor or any agent of the prosecutor to 24 disclose statements that are required to be disclosed under subdivision 25 one of section 240.44 of this article or paragraph (a) of subdivision 26 one of section 240.45 of this article shall not constitute grounds for 27 any court to order a new pre-trial hearing or set aside a 28 conviction, or reverse, modify or vacate a judgment of conviction in the 29 absence of a showing by the defendant that there is a reasonable 30 possibility that the non-disclosure materially contributed to the 31 result of the trial or other proceeding; provided, however, that nothing 32 in this section shall affect or limit any right the defendant 33 may have to a re-opened pre-trial hearing when such statements were 34 disclosed before the close of evidence at trial. 35 § 240.80 When demand, refusal and compliance made. 36 1.
