Posted by: thepinetree on 08/29/2018 08:53 AM
Sacramento, CA...Taking action to revamp California’s bail system, Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. today signed Senate Bill 10, the California Money Bail Reform Act, which preserves the rights of the accused, while prioritizing public safety. The new law – which will take effect on October 1, 2019 – establishes a new system for determining a defendant’s custody status while they await trial based on an assessment of risk to public safety and probability of missing a court date rather than their ability to pay cash bail. “Today, California reforms its bail system so that rich and poor alike are treated fairly,” said Governor Brown.
