What S 151 does, verified January 10, 2026

The bill aims to amend the Criminal Procedure Law to qualify certain felonies for pre-trial detention. Currently, only class A-I felonies under Article 220 of the Penal Law are qualifying offenses. The bill expands this list to include class A felonies, provided they fall under the specified section, and class B felonies under Article 220 of the Penal Law. These qualifying offenses would be subject to pre-trial detention. The bill would take effect 30 days after it becomes a law.
