Current law requires an individual who is in jail to be brought
before a judge for a bond hearing within 48 hours of arriving at the jail. The bill clarifies the circumstances when the 48-hour requirement does not apply when the individual is unable to attend court. The bill also clarifies that the 48-hour requirement applies regardless of whether: •
The individual is held in custody in a jurisdiction other than the one that issues the arrest warrant; or
•
Money bond was previously set ex parte.
