Oppose

Summary


HB 2755 mandates minimum bond premiums, imposes restrictive payment requirements, and requires physical presence for bond posting, which dsicriminates against those with lesser means and potentially extend pretrial detentions. We oppose this bill because it undermines the principles of fairness, equity, and respect for constitutional rights within the pretrial justice system, particularly the presumption of innocence and the right to reasonable bail.
