Rep. J.E. Johnson proposes the following amendment (LC-3532.AHB0011H):

Amend the bill, as and if amended, SECTION 2, by striking Section 17-15-15(D) and inserting:

(D) The provisions of this section do not apply if the defendant is charged with a violent crime as defined by Section 16-1-60 while out on bond or other pretrial release. If the court, pursuant to the limitations of Section 17-15-30, finds that such defendant may be released pending trial, bond must be set at the full United States currency cash bond to the exclusion of all other forms of bond whether the bond is posted by the defendant or with a bondsman.

Amend the bill further, by deleting SECTION 4.
