Assembly BillIntroduced
A 5748: Adds a defendant's identifiable ties to the community, state, and/or county to judges' considerations of whether to fix a securing order, including residence, employment, enrollment with an educational institution, and immediate family.
What A 5748 does, verified January 9, 2026
The bill aims to amend the criminal procedure law to consider a defendant's identifiable ties to the community, state, and/or county when deciding whether to fix a securing order. This consideration will include factors such as residence, employment, enrollment in educational institutions, and immediate family relationships. The bill seeks to provide judges with more information to make informed decisions about securing orders, particularly in cases where the principal is a defendant. The proposed changes are intended to ensure that securing orders are used judiciously and that they do not unfairly restrict the rights of defendants. The bill will take effect on the first of November next succeeding the date it becomes a law.
