Overview
This bill amends New Jersey law regarding pretrial detention and release conditions. It requires courts to consider factors like a defendant’s ties to the state and the recommendation of the Pretrial Services Program when determining whether to detain someone before trial or if a condition of release has been violated. The bill also clarifies circumstances under which a defendant’s release can be revoked, particularly for new crimes committed while on release and for violations of restraining orders.
