Overview
This bill clarifies the procedures for revoking pretrial release for defendants in New Jersey. Specifically, it allows a prosecutor to seek temporary detention if a defendant violates a release condition or commits a new crime while on release. The court must consider risk assessments and determine if monetary bail or conditions would reasonably ensure the defendant’s appearance in court and public safety. It also clarifies that existing procedures for pretrial detention apply in these situations.
