View Amendment Current Amendment: JUD0019.002.DOCX to Bill 19 Senator MALLOY proposed the following amendment (JUD0019.002):    

Amend the bill, as and if amended, by striking SECTION 1 in its entirety and inserting:
/     SECTION     1.     Section 17-15-55 of the 1976 Code is amended by adding an appropriately lettered subsection at the end to read:

    "( )     If a person released on bond pursuant to the provisions of this chapter for a serious or most serious offense, as defined in Section 17-25-45, is charged with a serious or most serious offense, as defined in Section 17-25-45, while released on bond, the bond hearing for the subsequent serious or most serious offense must be held in the circuit court within thirty days. If the court finds probable cause that the person committed the current offense or that the person is unlikely to comply with any condition of release, a rebuttable presumption arises that no condition will assure the person will not pose a danger to the safety of any other person or the community. If the court finds that certain conditions of release on bond will ensure that the person is unlikely to flee or pose a danger to any other person or the community and the person will abide by the terms of release on bond, the judge shall consider bond in accordance with the provisions of this chapter and set or amend bond accordingly. If the court finds no such conditions will ensure that the person is unlikely to flee or not pose a danger to the community, bond must be revoked."             /
