Serious felons jailed without bond until sentencing
The law requires county jails to hold people convicted of certain serious felonies without bond until sentencing. It applies to any off-grid felony; person felonies at severity levels 1, 2, 3, or 4; and drug felonies at levels 1 or 2. If the person was out on bond before trial, the court revokes the bond and remands the person to jail. If the person was already in custody, the court changes the bond so the person is held without bond. For other convictions, judges may allow release before sentencing if they find no flight risk or danger under existing rules. The act also repeals the prior version of the release statute to put these rules in place.
