This amendment reiterates in the Whereas statements the existing law that requires persons arrested for a violent felony while out on bail awaiting trial for a previous violent felony to be held without bail. The amendment updates the language regarding the courts' obligation to review bail to reflect current practice and requires reporting on such cases and racial impact by the Criminal Justice Council in its annual report. Finally, the amendment provides a sunset provision so that the bill expires when the constitutional amendment regarding bail is enacted.
