AN ACT to amend the  criminal  procedure  law,  in  relation  to  adding

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1. The opening paragraph and paragraphs (h) and (i) of subdi-
vision 4 of section 510.10 of the criminal procedure law,  as  added  by
section 2 of part JJJ of chapter 59 of the laws of 2019, are amended and
a new paragraph (j) is added to read as follows:
  Where  the  principal  stands  charged  with a qualifying offense, the
court, unless otherwise prohibited by law, may in its discretion release
the principal pending trial on the principal's own recognizance or under
non-monetary conditions, fix bail, or, where the  defendant  is  charged
with  a qualifying offense [which is a felony], the court may commit the
principal to the custody of the sheriff. A principal stands charged with

degree  as  defined  in subdivision (b), (c) or (d) of section 215.51 of
the penal law or aggravated criminal  contempt  as  defined  in  section
215.52 of the penal law, and the underlying allegation of such charge of
criminal  contempt  in the second degree, criminal contempt in the first
degree or aggravated criminal contempt is that the defendant violated  a
duly served order of protection where the protected party is a member of
the  defendant's  same family or household as defined in subdivision one
of section 530.11 of this article; [or]
  (i) facilitating a sexual performance by a  child  with  a  controlled
