accordance with this section.
2. When the defendant is charged with a felony, the court may, unless
otherwise provided by law in its discretion, order recognizance, release
under non-monetary conditions or, where authorized, bail. In any such
case in which an indictment (a) has resulted from an order of a local
criminal court holding the defendant for the action of the grand jury,
or (b) was filed at a time when a felony complaint charging the same
conduct was pending in a local criminal court, and in which such local

will not reasonably assure the principal's return to court. In such
instances, the court shall release the principal under non-monetary
conditions, selecting the least restrictive alternative and conditions
that will reasonably assure the principal's return to court. The court
shall explain its choice of alternative and conditions on the record or
in writing.
4. 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. The court shall explain its
choice of release, release with conditions, bail or remand on the record
or in writing. A principal stands charged with a qualifying offense for
the purposes of this subdivision when he or she stands charged with:
(a) a felony enumerated in section 70.02 of the penal law, other than
