   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Subdivision 3 of section 150.10 of the  criminal  procedure
 law is REPEALED.
   § 2. Subdivision 1 of section 150.20 of the criminal procedure law, as
 amended by section 1-a of part JJJ of chapter 59 of the laws of 2019, is
 amended to read as follows:
   1.  [(a)]  Whenever a police officer is authorized pursuant to section
 140.10 of this title to arrest a person without a warrant for an offense
 other than a class A, B, C or D felony or a violation of section 130.25,
 130.40, 205.10, 205.17, 205.19 or 215.56 of the penal  law,  he  [shall,
 except  as  set  out  in  paragraph (b) of this subdivision] OR SHE MAY,
 subject to the provisions of subdivisions  three  and  four  of  section
 150.40  of  this  [title]  ARTICLE, instead issue to and serve upon such
 person an appearance ticket.
   [(b) An officer is not required to issue an appearance ticket if:

  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                            LBD04301-02-1
              

 S. 1523--A                          2

   (i) the person has one or more outstanding  local  criminal  court  or
 superior court warrants;
   (ii)  the person has failed to appear in court proceedings in the last
 two years;
   (iii) the person has been given a reasonable opportunity to make their
 verifiable identity and a method of contact known, and has  been  unable
 or  unwilling  to  do  so,  so  that  a custodial arrest is necessary to
 subject the individual  to  the  jurisdiction  of  the  court.  For  the
 purposes  of  this  section,  an  officer may rely on various factors to
 determine a person's identity, including but  not  limited  to  personal
 knowledge  of  such person, such person's self-identification, or photo-
 graphic identification. There is no requirement that  a  person  present
 photographic  identification  in order to be issued an appearance ticket
 in lieu of arrest where the person's identity is  otherwise  verifiable;
 however,  if offered by such person, an officer shall accept as evidence
 of identity the following: a valid driver's license or non-driver  iden-
 tification card issued by the commissioner of motor vehicles, the feder-
 al  government, any United States territory, commonwealth or possession,
 the District of Columbia, a state  government  or  municipal  government
 within  the  United States or a provincial government of the dominion of
 Canada; a valid passport issued by the United States government  or  any
 other  country; an identification card issued by the armed forces of the
 United States; a public benefit card, as defined  in  paragraph  (a)  of
 subdivision one of section 158.00 of the penal law;
   (iv)  the  person  is charged with a crime between members of the same
 family or household, as defined in subdivision one of section 530.11  of
 this chapter;
   (v)  the  person is charged with a crime defined in article 130 of the
 penal law;
   (vi) it reasonably appears the person should  be  brought  before  the
 court  for consideration of issuance of an order of protection, pursuant
 to section 530.13 of this chapter, based on the facts of  the  crime  or
 offense that the officer has reasonable cause to believe occurred;
   (vii)  the  person  is  charged  with  a crime for which the court may
 suspend or revoke his or her driver license;
   (viii) it reasonably appears to the officer,  based  on  the  observed
 behavior  of  the individual in the present contact with the officer and
 facts regarding the person's condition that indicates a sign of distress
 to such a degree that the  person  would  face  harm  without  immediate
 medical or mental health care, that bringing the person before the court
 would  be  in  such person's interest in addressing that need; provided,
 however, that before making the  arrest,  the  officer  shall  make  all
 reasonable   efforts  to  assist  the  person  in  securing  appropriate
 services.]
   § 3. The criminal procedure law is amended by  adding  a  new  section
 150.30 to read as follows:

 S. 1523--A                          4
 
 section  100.55  of  this title as one with which an information for the

   § 5. Section 150.80 of the criminal procedure law is REPEALED.
   §  6. Subdivisions 3-a, 3-b, 21 and 22 of section 500.10 of the crimi-

   7.  "Application  for  recognizance or bail" means an application by a
 principal that the court, instead of  committing  the  principal  to  or

   9.  "Bail"  means  cash  bail[,]  OR a bail bond [or money paid with a

 4 as amended by section 2 of part UU of chapter 56 of the laws of  2020,
 is amended to read as follows:
 § 510.10 Securing  order; when required[; alternatives available; stand-
            ard to be applied].
   [1.] When a principal, whose future court  attendance  at  a  criminal
 action  or  proceeding  is or may be required, INITIALLY comes under the
 control of a court, such court shall[, in accordance with  this  title,]
 by a securing order, EITHER release the principal on the principal's own
 recognizance,  [release the principal under non-monetary conditions, or,
 where authorized,] fix bail or commit the principal to  the  custody  of
 the  sheriff.  [In all such cases, except where another type of securing
 order is shown to be required by law, the court shall release the  prin-
 cipal  pending  trial  on the principal's own recognizance, unless it is
 demonstrated and the court makes an  individualized  determination  that
 the  principal  poses  a  risk of flight to avoid prosecution. If such a
 finding is made, the court must select the least restrictive alternative
 and condition or conditions that will reasonably assure the  principal's
 return to court.  The court shall explain its choice of release, release
 with conditions, bail or remand on the record or in writing.
   2.  A  principal  is  entitled to representation by counsel under this
 chapter in preparing an application for release, when a  securing  order
 is  being  considered  and  when  a securing order is being reviewed for
 modification, revocation or termination. If the principal is financially
 unable to obtain counsel, counsel shall be assigned to the principal.
   3. In cases other than  as  described  in  subdivision  four  of  this
 section the court shall release the principal pending trial on the prin-
 cipal's  own  recognizance,  unless  the court finds on the record or in
 writing that release  on  the  principal's  own  recognizance  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

 S. 1523--A                          5

 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. 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

   (t)  any  felony or class A misdemeanor involving harm to an identifi-
 able person or property, where such charge arose from conduct  occurring
 while  the  defendant  was  released  on  his or her own recognizance or

 involving harm to an identifiable person or property, provided, however,
 that  the  prosecutor  must  show  reasonable  cause to believe that the

 purposes  of this subparagraph, any of the underlying crimes need not be
 a qualifying offense as defined in this subdivision.
   5. Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivisions three  and  four  of
 this section, with respect to any charge for which bail or remand is not
 ordered,  and  for  which  the  court  would  not or could not otherwise
 require bail or remand, a defendant may, at any time, request  that  the
 court  set  bail  in  a nominal amount requested by the defendant in the
 form specified in paragraph (a) of subdivision one of section 520.10  of

 S. 1523--A                          7

 this title; if the court is satisfied that the request is voluntary, the
 court shall set such bail in such amount.
   6.]  When  a  securing order is revoked or otherwise terminated in the
 course of an uncompleted action or proceeding but the principal's future
 court attendance still is or may be required and the principal is  still
 under  the control of a court, a new securing order must be issued. When
 the court revokes or otherwise terminates a securing order which commit-
 ted the principal to the custody of the sheriff, the  court  shall  give
 written notification to the sheriff of such revocation or termination of
 the securing order.
   §  9.  Section  510.20  of  the  criminal procedure law, as amended by
 section 3 of part JJJ of chapter 59 of the laws of 2019, is  amended  to
 read as follows:
 § 510.20 Application  for  [a  change in securing order] RECOGNIZANCE OR

 nity  to  be  heard[,  present evidence] and to contend that an order of

 principal  on  the  principal's  own recognizance [or under non-monetary
 conditions] rather than fix bail, and that if bail is  [authorized  and]
 fixed it should be in a suggested amount and form.
   §  10.  Section  510.30  of  the criminal procedure law, as amended by
 section 5 of part JJJ of chapter 59 of the laws of 2019, is  amended  to

 is  defined  in  subdivision  one  of  section 530.11 of this title, the
 following factors:
   [(i)] (A) any violation by the principal of  an  order  of  protection
 issued  by  any  court  for the protection of a member or members of the
 same family or household as that term is defined in subdivision  one  of
 section 530.11 of this title, whether or not such order of protection is
 currently in effect; and
   [(ii)]  (B) the principal's history of use or possession of a firearm;
 [and
   (h)] (VIII) If the  principal  is  a  defendant,  THE  WEIGHT  OF  THE
 EVIDENCE AGAINST HIM OR HER IN THE PENDING CRIMINAL ACTION AND ANY OTHER
 FACTOR INDICATING PROBABILITY OR IMPROBABILITY OF CONVICTION; OR, in the
 case of an application for [a securing order] BAIL OR RECOGNIZANCE pend-
 ing appeal, the merit or lack of merit of the appeal; AND
   (IX)  IF  HE  OR  SHE IS A DEFENDANT, THE SENTENCE WHICH MAY BE OR HAS
 BEEN IMPOSED UPON CONVICTION.
   [2.] (B) Where the principal is a  defendant-appellant  in  a  pending
 appeal  from  a judgment of conviction, the court must also consider the
 likelihood of ultimate reversal of the judgment.  A  determination  that
 the  appeal  is  palpably  without  merit  alone justifies, but does not
 require, a denial of the application, regardless  of  any  determination
 made  with  respect  to  the  factors specified in PARAGRAPH (A) OF THIS
 subdivision [one of this section].
   3. When bail or recognizance is ordered, the court  shall  inform  the
 principal,  if  the principal is a defendant charged with the commission
 of a felony, that the release is conditional  and  that  the  court  may
 revoke  the order of release and [may be authorized] to commit the prin-
 cipal to the custody of the sheriff in accordance with the provisions of
 subdivision two of section 530.60 of this [chapter] TITLE if the princi-
 pal commits a subsequent felony while at liberty upon such order.
   § 11. Section 510.40 of the criminal  procedure  law,  as  amended  by
 section  6  of  part JJJ of chapter 59 of the laws of 2019 and paragraph

 S. 1523--A                          9
 
 (c) of subdivision 4 as amended by section 7 of part UU of chapter 56 of
 the laws of 2020, is amended to read as follows:
 § 510.40 [Court  notification  to principal of conditions of release and
            of alleged violations of  conditions  of  release]APPLICATION
            FOR  RECOGNIZANCE  OR  BAIL;  DETERMINATION  THEREOF, FORM OF
            SECURING ORDER AND EXECUTION THEREOF.
   1. AN APPLICATION FOR RECOGNIZANCE OR BAIL MUST  BE  DETERMINED  BY  A
 SECURING ORDER WHICH EITHER:
   (A)  GRANTS  THE  APPLICATION AND RELEASES THE PRINCIPAL ON HIS OR HER
 OWN RECOGNIZANCE; OR
   (B) GRANTS THE APPLICATION AND FIXES BAIL; OR
   (C) DENIES THE APPLICATION AND COMMITS THE PRINCIPAL  TO,  OR  RETAINS
 HIM OR HER IN, THE CUSTODY OF THE SHERIFF.
   2.  Upon  ordering that a principal be released on the principal's own
 recognizance, [or released under non-monetary conditions,  or,  if  bail
 has  been  fixed,  upon  the posting of bail,] the court must direct the
 principal to appear in the criminal action or proceeding involved  when-
 ever  the  principal's attendance may be required and to [be] RENDER THE
 PRINCIPAL  at all times amenable to the  orders  and  processes  of  the
 court.  If such principal is in the custody of the sheriff or at liberty
 upon bail at the time of the order, the court must direct that the prin-
 cipal be discharged from such custody or, as the case may be,  that  the
 principal's bail be exonerated.
   [2.] 3. Upon the issuance of an order fixing bail[, where authorized,]
 and  upon the posting thereof, the court must examine the bail to deter-
 mine whether it complies with the order. If it does, the court must,  in
 the  absence  of  some  factor  or circumstance which in law requires or
 authorizes disapproval thereof,  approve  the  bail  and  must  issue  a
 certificate of release, authorizing the principal to be at liberty, and,
 if the principal is in the custody of the sheriff at the time, directing
 the  sheriff  to discharge the principal therefrom. If the bail fixed is
 not posted, or is not approved after being posted, the court must  order
 that  the  principal be committed to the custody of the sheriff. [In the
 event of any such non-approval, the  court  shall  explain  promptly  in
 writing the reasons therefor.
   3.  Non-monetary  conditions  of  release  shall be individualized and
 established in writing by the court. At future  court  appearances,  the
 court shall consider a lessening of conditions or modification of condi-
 tions to a less burdensome form based on the principal's compliance with
 such  conditions of release. In the event of alleged non-compliance with
 the conditions of release in an  important  respect,  pursuant  to  this
 subdivision,  additional  conditions may be imposed by the court, on the
 record or in writing, only after notice of the facts  and  circumstances
 of  such  alleged  non-compliance,  reasonable  under the circumstances,
 affording the principal and the principal's attorney and the  people  an
 opportunity to present relevant, admissible evidence, relevant witnesses
 and  to  cross-examine  witnesses, and a finding by clear and convincing
 evidence that the principal violated a condition of release in an impor-
 tant respect. Following such a finding, in determining whether to impose
 additional conditions for non-compliance, the court shall  consider  and
 may  select  conditions consistent with the court's obligation to impose
 the least restrictive  condition  or  conditions  that  will  reasonably
 assure  the  defendant's return to court. The court shall explain on the
 record or in writing the reasons  for  its  determination  and  for  any
 changes to the conditions imposed.

 S. 1523--A                         10

   4.  (a) Electronic monitoring of a principal's location may be ordered
 only if the court finds, after notice, an opportunity to be heard and an
 individualized determination explained on the record or in writing, that
 the defendant qualifies for electronic  monitoring  in  accordance  with
 subdivision  twenty-one  of  section  500.10 of this title, and no other
 realistic non-monetary condition or set of non-monetary conditions  will
 suffice to reasonably assure a principal's return to court.
   (b)  The  specific  method of electronic monitoring of the principal's
 location must be approved by the court. It must be the least restrictive
 procedure and method that will reasonably assure the principal's  return
 to court, and unobtrusive to the greatest extent practicable.
   (c)  Electronic  monitoring  of  the  location  of  a principal may be
 conducted only by a public entity under the supervision and control of a
 county or municipality or a non-profit  entity  under  contract  to  the
 county,  municipality  or  the  state. A county or municipality shall be
 authorized to enter into a contract with another county or  municipality
 in  the  state  to  monitor  principals under non-monetary conditions of
 release in its county, but counties, municipalities and the state  shall
 not  contract  with  any  private  for-profit  entity for such purposes.
 Counties, municipalities and the state may contract with a private  for-
 profit  entity  to  supply electronic monitoring devices or other items,
 provided that any interaction with persons under  electronic  monitoring
 or  the  data  produced  by such monitoring shall be conducted solely by
 employees of a county, municipality, the state, or a  non-profit  entity
 under contract with such county, municipality or the state.
   (d) Electronic monitoring of a principal's location may be for a maxi-
 mum  period  of  sixty  days,  and may be renewed for such period, after
 notice, an opportunity to be heard and a de novo, individualized  deter-
 mination  in  accordance with this subdivision, which shall be explained
 on the record or in writing.
   A defendant subject  to  electronic  location  monitoring  under  this
 subdivision shall be considered held or confined in custody for purposes
 of  section  180.80 of this chapter and shall be considered committed to
 the custody of the sheriff for purposes of section 170.70 of  the  chap-
 ter, as applicable.
   5. If a principal is released under non-monetary conditions, the court
 shall,  on the record and in an individualized written document provided
 to the principal, notify the principal, in plain language and  a  manner
 sufficiently clear and specific:
   (a) of any conditions to which the principal is subject, to serve as a
 guide for the principal's conduct; and
   (b)  that  the possible consequences for violation of such a condition
 may include revocation of the securing order and the ordering of a  more
 restrictive securing order.]
   §  12.  Sections  510.43  and 510.45 of the criminal procedure law are
 REPEALED.
   § 13. Section 510.50 of the criminal  procedure  law,  as  amended  by
 section  9  of part JJJ of chapter 59 of the laws of 2019, is amended to
 read as follows:
 § 510.50 Enforcement of securing order.
   [1.] When the attendance of a principal confined in the custody of the
 sheriff is required at the criminal action or proceeding at a particular
 time and place, the court may compel such attendance  by  directing  the
 sheriff  to produce the principal at such time and place. If the princi-
 pal is at liberty on the principal's own recognizance  [or  non-monetary
 conditions]  or  on  bail, the principal's attendance may be achieved or

 S. 1523--A                         11
 
 compelled by various methods, including notification and the issuance of
 a bench warrant, prescribed by law in provisions governing such  matters
 with respect to the particular kind of action or proceeding involved.
   [2.  Except  when  the  principal is charged with a new crime while at
 liberty, absent relevant, credible evidence demonstrating that a princi-
 pal's failure to appear for a scheduled court  appearance  was  willful,
 the  court, prior to issuing a bench warrant for a failure to appear for
 a scheduled court appearance, shall provide at least  forty-eight  hours
 notice to the principal or the principal's counsel that the principal is
 required  to  appear,  in  order to give the principal an opportunity to
 appear voluntarily.]
   § 14. Paragraph (b) of subdivision 2 of section 520.10 of the criminal
 procedure law, as amended by section 10 of part JJJ of chapter 59 of the
 laws of 2019, is amended to read as follows:
   (b) The court [shall] MAY direct that the bail be posted in any one of
 [three] TWO or more of the forms specified in subdivision  one  of  this
 section,  designated  in  the  alternative,  and may designate different
 amounts varying with the forms[, except that one of the forms  shall  be
 either an unsecured or partially secured surety bond, as selected by the
 court].
   §  15.  Section  530.10  of  the criminal procedure law, as amended by
 section 11 of part JJJ of chapter 59 of the laws of 2019, is amended  to
 read as follows:
 § 530.10 Order  of  recognizance [release under non-monetary conditions]
            or bail; in general.
   Under circumstances prescribed in this article, a court, upon applica-
 tion of a defendant charged with or convicted of an offense, is required
 [to issue a securing order] OR AUTHORIZED TO ORDER BAIL OR  RECOGNIZANCE
 for  THE  RELEASE  OR  PROSPECTIVE  RELEASE OF such defendant during the
 pendency of either:
   1. A criminal action based upon such charge; or
   2. An appeal taken by the defendant from a judgment of conviction or a
 sentence or from an order of an intermediate appellate  court  affirming
 or modifying a judgment of conviction or a sentence.
   §  16.  Subdivision 4 of section 530.11 of the criminal procedure law,
 as amended by section 12 of part JJJ of chapter 59 of the laws of  2019,
 is amended to read as follows:
   4.  When  a  person  is  arrested  for an alleged family offense or an
 alleged violation of an  order  of  protection  or  temporary  order  of
 protection  or  arrested  pursuant to a warrant issued by the supreme or
 family court, and the supreme or family court, as applicable, is not  in
 session,  such  person shall be brought before a local criminal court in
 the county of arrest or in the county in which such warrant  is  return-
 able  pursuant to article one hundred twenty of this chapter. Such local
 criminal court may issue any order authorized under  subdivision  eleven
 of  section  530.12 of this article, section one hundred fifty-four-d or
 one hundred fifty-five of the family court act or subdivision three-b of
 section two hundred forty or subdivision two-a of  section  two  hundred
 fifty-two  of  the  domestic  relations  law, in addition to discharging
 other arraignment responsibilities as set  forth  in  this  chapter.  In
 making such order, the local criminal court shall consider [de novo] the
 BAIL recommendation [and securing order], if any, made by the supreme or
 family  court  as  indicated  on  the warrant or certificate of warrant.
 Unless the petitioner or complainant requests otherwise, the  court,  in
 addition  to  scheduling further criminal proceedings, if any, regarding
 such alleged family offense or violation  allegation,  shall  make  such

 S. 1523--A                         12
 
 matter  returnable in the supreme or family court, as applicable, on the
 next day such court is in session.
   §  17. Subdivision 11 of section 530.12 of the criminal procedure law,
 as amended by section 15 of part JJJ of chapter 59 of the laws of  2019,
 is amended to read as follows:
   11. If a defendant is brought before the court for failure to obey any
 lawful order issued under this section, or an order of protection issued
 by  a  court  of competent jurisdiction in another state, territorial or
 tribal jurisdiction, and if, after hearing, the court  is  satisfied  by
 competent proof that the defendant has willfully failed to obey any such
 order, the court may:
   (a)  revoke  an  order  of recognizance [or release under non-monetary
 conditions] or revoke an order of bail or order forfeiture of such  bail
 and commit the defendant to custody; or
   (b)  restore  the case to the calendar when there has been an adjourn-
 ment in contemplation of dismissal and commit the defendant to  custody;
 or
   (c)  revoke  a conditional discharge in accordance with section 410.70
 of this chapter and impose probation supervision or impose a sentence of
 imprisonment in accordance with the penal  law  based  on  the  original
 conviction; or
   (d) revoke probation in accordance with section 410.70 of this chapter
 and  impose  a sentence of imprisonment in accordance with the penal law
 based on the original conviction. In addition, if the act which  consti-
 tutes  the  violation  of  the order of protection or temporary order of
 protection is a crime or a violation the defendant may be  charged  with
 and tried for that crime or violation.
   §  18. The opening paragraph of subdivision 1 of section 530.13 of the

 cle,  the  court,  in  addition to the other powers conferred upon it by
 this chapter, may for good  cause  shown  issue  a  temporary  order  of
 protection in conjunction with any securing order COMMITTING THE DEFEND-
 ANT  TO  THE  CUSTODY  OF  THE  SHERIFF OR AS A CONDITION OF A PRE-TRIAL
 RELEASE, OR AS A CONDITION OF RELEASE  ON  BAIL  or  an  adjournment  in
 contemplation of dismissal. In addition to any other conditions, such an
 order may require that the defendant:

 OR BAIL AS FOLLOWS:
   1. WHEN THE DEFENDANT IS CHARGED, BY INFORMATION, SIMPLIFIED  INFORMA-
 TION, PROSECUTOR'S INFORMATION OR MISDEMEANOR COMPLAINT, WITH AN OFFENSE
 OR  OFFENSES OF LESS THAN FELONY GRADE ONLY, THE COURT MUST ORDER RECOG-
 NIZANCE OR BAIL.

 S. 1523--A                         13
 
   2. WHEN THE DEFENDANT IS CHARGED, BY FELONY COMPLAINT, WITH A  FELONY,
 THE  COURT  MAY, IN ITS DISCRETION, ORDER RECOGNIZANCE OR BAIL EXCEPT AS
 OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS SUBDIVISION:
   (A) A CITY COURT, A TOWN COURT OR A VILLAGE COURT MAY NOT ORDER RECOG-
 NIZANCE OR BAIL WHEN (I) THE DEFENDANT IS CHARGED WITH A CLASS A FELONY,
 OR   (II)  IT  APPEARS  THAT  THE  DEFENDANT  HAS  TWO  PREVIOUS  FELONY
 CONVICTIONS;
   (B) NO LOCAL CRIMINAL  COURT  MAY  ORDER  RECOGNIZANCE  OR  BAIL  WITH

 LEDGE  OR  NOTICE  OF  THE  APPLICATION AND REASONABLE OPPORTUNITY TO BE
 HEARD, HAS FAILED TO APPEAR AT THE PROCEEDING OR  HAS  OTHERWISE  WAIVED
 HIS OR HER RIGHT TO DO SO; AND
   (II)  THE  COURT  HAS  BEEN FURNISHED WITH A REPORT OF THE DIVISION OF
 CRIMINAL JUSTICE SERVICES CONCERNING THE DEFENDANT'S CRIMINAL RECORD  IF
 ANY  OR  WITH A POLICE DEPARTMENT REPORT WITH RESPECT TO THE DEFENDANT'S
 PRIOR ARREST RECORD. IF NEITHER REPORT IS AVAILABLE, THE COURT, WITH THE
 CONSENT OF THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY, MAY DISPENSE  WITH  THIS  REQUIREMENT;
 PROVIDED,  HOWEVER, THAT IN AN EMERGENCY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO A
 SUBSTANTIAL IMPAIRMENT IN THE ABILITY OF SUCH DIVISION OR POLICE DEPART-
 MENT TO TIMELY FURNISH SUCH REPORT, SUCH CONSENT SHALL NOT  BE  REQUIRED
 IF,  FOR  REASONS  STATED ON THE RECORD, THE COURT DEEMS IT UNNECESSARY.
 WHEN THE COURT HAS BEEN FURNISHED WITH ANY SUCH  REPORT  OR  RECORD,  IT
 SHALL  FURNISH  A  COPY  THEREOF TO COUNSEL FOR THE DEFENDANT OR, IF THE
 DEFENDANT IS NOT REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL, TO THE DEFENDANT.
   § 21. The section heading and subdivisions 1 and 2 of  section  530.30
 of  the  criminal procedure law, as amended by section 17 of part JJJ of
 chapter 59 of the laws of 2019, are amended to read as follows:
 Order of recognizance[, release under non-monetary conditions] or  bail;
 by superior court judge when action is pending in local criminal court.
   1.  When a criminal action is pending in a local criminal court, other
 than one consisting of a superior court judge sitting as such,  a  judge
 of  a superior court holding a term thereof in the county, upon applica-
 tion of a defendant, may order recognizance[, release under non-monetary
 conditions] or[, where authorized,] bail when such local criminal court:
   (a) Lacks authority to issue such an order, pursuant to  the  relevant
 provisions of section 530.20 of this article; or
   (b)  Has  denied  an application for recognizance[, release under non-
 monetary conditions] or bail; or
   (c) Has fixed bail[, where authorized,] which is excessive[; or
   (d) Has set a securing order of release under non-monetary  conditions
 which  are  more  restrictive  than  necessary  to reasonably assure the
 defendant's return to court].
   In such case, such superior court judge may vacate the order  of  such
 local  criminal court and release the defendant on HIS OR HER OWN recog-
 nizance [or under non-monetary conditions,] or [where  authorized,]  fix
 bail in a lesser amount or in a less burdensome form[, whichever are the
 least restrictive alternative and conditions that will reasonably assure
 the  defendant's  return to court. The court shall explain its choice of
 alternative and conditions on the record or in writing].
   2. Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivision one of this  section,
 when the defendant is charged with a felony in a local criminal court, a
 superior court judge may not order recognizance, [release under non-mon-
 etary  conditions]  or[,  where  authorized,]  bail unless and until the
 district attorney has had an opportunity to be heard in the  matter  and
 such  judge [and counsel for the defendant have] HAS been furnished with

 S. 1523--A                         14
 
 a report as described in subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (b) of  subdivi-
 sion two of section 530.20 of this article.
   §  22.  Section 530.40 of the criminal procedure law is REPEALED and a
 new section 530.40 is added to read as follows:
 § 530.40 ORDER OF RECOGNIZANCE OR BAIL; BY SUPERIOR COURT WHEN ACTION IS
            PENDING THEREIN.
   WHEN A CRIMINAL ACTION IS PENDING IN A  SUPERIOR  COURT,  SUCH  COURT,
 UPON  APPLICATION OF A DEFENDANT, MUST OR MAY ORDER RECOGNIZANCE OR BAIL
 AS FOLLOWS:
   1. WHEN THE DEFENDANT IS CHARGED WITH AN OFFENSE OR OFFENSES  OF  LESS
 THAN FELONY GRADE ONLY, THE COURT MUST ORDER RECOGNIZANCE OR BAIL.
   2.  WHEN THE DEFENDANT IS CHARGED WITH A FELONY, THE COURT MAY, IN ITS
 DISCRETION, ORDER RECOGNIZANCE OR 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 CRIMINAL COURT OR A
 SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE HAS ISSUED AN ORDER OF RECOGNIZANCE OR  BAIL  WHICH
 IS  STILL  EFFECTIVE, THE SUPERIOR COURT'S ORDER MAY BE IN THE FORM OF A
 DIRECTION CONTINUING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PREVIOUS ORDER.
   3. NOTWITHSTANDING THE PROVISIONS OF SUBDIVISION TWO OF THIS  SECTION,
 A SUPERIOR COURT MAY NOT ORDER RECOGNIZANCE OR BAIL, OR PERMIT A DEFEND-
 ANT  TO  REMAIN  AT  LIBERTY  PURSUANT  TO  AN EXISTING ORDER, AFTER THE
 DEFENDANT HAS BEEN CONVICTED OF EITHER: (A) A CLASS A FELONY OR (B)  ANY
 CLASS  B  OR  CLASS C FELONY AS DEFINED IN ARTICLE ONE HUNDRED THIRTY OF
 THE PENAL LAW COMMITTED OR ATTEMPTED TO BE COMMITTED BY A  PERSON  EIGH-
 TEEN  YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER AGAINST A PERSON LESS THAN EIGHTEEN YEARS OF
 AGE. IN EITHER CASE THE COURT MUST COMMIT OR REMAND THE DEFENDANT TO THE
 CUSTODY OF THE SHERIFF.
   4. NOTWITHSTANDING THE PROVISIONS OF SUBDIVISION TWO OF THIS  SECTION,
 A  SUPERIOR  COURT MAY NOT ORDER RECOGNIZANCE OR BAIL WHEN THE DEFENDANT
 IS CHARGED WITH A FELONY UNLESS AND UNTIL THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY HAS  HAD
 AN  OPPORTUNITY  TO  BE  HEARD  IN  THE  MATTER  AND SUCH COURT HAS BEEN
 FURNISHED WITH A REPORT AS DESCRIBED IN SUBPARAGRAPH (II)  OF  PARAGRAPH
 (B) OF SUBDIVISION TWO OF SECTION 530.20 OF THIS ARTICLE.
   §  23.  Subdivision 1 of section 530.45 of the criminal procedure law,
 as amended by section 19 of part JJJ of chapter 59 of the laws of  2019,
 is amended to read as follows:
   1. When the defendant is at liberty in the course of a criminal action
 as  a  result of a prior order of recognizance[, release under non-mone-
 tary conditions] or bail and the court revokes  such  order  and  then[,
 where  authorized,]  EITHER  fixes  no  bail  or fixes bail in a greater
 amount or in a more  burdensome  form  than  was  previously  fixed  and
 remands or commits defendant to the custody of the sheriff, [or issues a
 more  restrictive securing order,] a judge designated in subdivision two
 of this section, upon application of the defendant following  conviction
 of an offense other than a class A felony or a class B or class C felony
 offense  as  defined  in  article  one  hundred  thirty of the penal law
 committed or attempted to be committed by a person eighteen years of age
 or older against a person less than eighteen years of  age,  and  before
 sentencing,  may issue a securing order and EITHER release the defendant
 on the defendant's own recognizance, [release the defendant  under  non-
 monetary  conditions,] or[, where authorized,] fix bail or fix bail in a
 lesser amount or in a less burdensome form[, or issue a less restrictive
 securing order,] than fixed by the court in  which  the  conviction  was
 entered.

   §  24. Subdivision 2-a of section 530.45 of the criminal procedure law
 is REPEALED.
   §  25.  Section  530.50  of  the criminal procedure law, as amended by
 chapter 264 of the laws of 2003, subdivision 1 as designated and  subdi-
 vision  2 as added by section 10 of part UU of chapter 56 of the laws of
 2020, is amended to read as follows:
 § 530.50 Order of recognizance or bail; during pendency of appeal.
   [1.] A judge who is otherwise authorized pursuant to section 460.50 or
 [section] 460.60 OF THIS CHAPTER to issue an order  of  recognizance  or
 bail  pending  the  determination  of  an  appeal,  may do so unless the
 defendant received a class A felony sentence or a sentence for any class
 B or class C felony offense defined in article one hundred thirty of the
 penal law committed or attempted to be committed by  a  person  eighteen
 years of age or older against a person less than eighteen years of age.
   [2.  Notwithstanding  the  provisions  of  subdivision four of section
 510.10, paragraph (b) of subdivision one of section 530.20 and  subdivi-
 sion four of section 530.40 of this title, when a defendant charged with
 an offense that is not such a qualifying offense applies, pending deter-
 mination  of  an appeal, for an order of recognizance or release on non-
 monetary conditions, where authorized, or fixing bail, a  judge  identi-
 fied   in  subdivision  two  of  section  460.50  or  paragraph  (a)  of
 subdivision one of section 460.60 of this  chapter  may,  in  accordance
 with  law,  and  except  as  otherwise provided by law, issue a securing
 order: releasing the defendant on the defendant's  own  recognizance  or
 under  non-monetary conditions where authorized, fixing bail, or remand-
 ing the defendant to the custody of the sheriff where authorized.]
   § 26. Section 530.60 of the criminal  procedure  law,  as  amended  by
 section  20 of part JJJ of chapter 59 of the laws of 2019, is amended to
 read as follows:
 § 530.60 [Certain modifications of a securing order] ORDER  OF  RECOGNI-
            ZANCE OR BAIL; REVOCATION THEREOF.
   1. Whenever in the course of a criminal action or proceeding a defend-
 ant  is  at  liberty  as  a result of an order of recognizance[, release
 under non-monetary conditions] or bail issued pursuant to this  chapter,
 and  the court considers it necessary to review such order, [whether due
 to a motion by the people or otherwise,] the court may, and  [except  as
 provided in subdivision two of section 510.50 of this title concerning a
 failure  to  appear  in court,] by a bench warrant if necessary, require
 the defendant to appear before the  court.  Upon  such  appearance,  the
 court,  for  good  cause  shown,  may revoke the order of recognizance[,
 release under non-monetary conditions,] or bail.  If  the  defendant  is
 entitled  to  recognizance[,  release under non-monetary conditions,] or
 bail as a matter of right, the court must issue another such  order.  If
 the defendant is not, the court may either issue such an order or commit
 the  defendant  to  the  custody  of the sheriff in accordance with this
 section.
   Where the defendant is committed to the custody of the sheriff and  is
 held  on  a felony complaint, a new period as provided in section 180.80
 of this chapter shall commence to run from the time of  the  defendant's

   2.  (a)  Whenever  in  the course of a criminal action or proceeding a
 defendant charged with the commission of a felony is  at  liberty  as  a
 result  of  an order of recognizance, [release under non-monetary condi-
 tions] or bail issued pursuant to this article it shall be  grounds  for
 revoking such order that the court finds reasonable cause to believe the
 defendant  committed  one  or  more  specified class A or violent felony

 S. 1523--A                         16
 
 offenses or intimidated a victim or  witness  in  violation  of  section
 215.15, 215.16 or 215.17 of the penal law while at liberty.
   [(b)  Except  as  provided in paragraph (a) of this subdivision or any
 other law, whenever in the course of a criminal action or  proceeding  a
 defendant  charged  with the commission of an offense is at liberty as a
 result of an order of recognizance, release  under  non-monetary  condi-
 tions  or  bail  issued pursuant to this article it shall be grounds for
 revoking such order and fixing bail in such criminal action or  proceed-
 ing when the court has found, by clear and convincing evidence, that the
 defendant:
   (i) persistently and willfully failed to appear after notice of sched-
 uled appearances in the case before the court; or
   (ii)  violated  an  order  of  protection  in the manner prohibited by
 subdivision (b), (c) or (d) of section 215.51 of the penal law while  at

 misdemeanor or violation and, after  being  so  charged,  intimidated  a
 victim  or  witness  in violation of section 215.15, 215.16 or 215.17 of
 the penal law or tampered with a witness in violation of section 215.11,
 215.12 or 215.13 of the penal law, law while at liberty; or

   (c)] Before revoking an order of recognizance[, release under non-mon-
 etary  conditions,] or bail pursuant to this subdivision, the court must
 hold a hearing and shall receive any relevant, admissible  evidence  not
 legally  privileged.  The  defendant may cross-examine witnesses and may
 present relevant, admissible evidence on his own  behalf.  Such  hearing
 may  be  consolidated  with, and conducted at the same time as, a felony
 hearing conducted pursuant to article one hundred eighty of  this  chap-
 ter.  A transcript of testimony taken before the grand jury upon presen-
 tation of the subsequent offense shall be admissible as evidence  during
 the  hearing.  The  district  attorney  may move to introduce grand jury
 testimony of a witness in lieu of that witness' appearance at the  hear-
 ing.
   [(d)]  (B) Revocation of an order of recognizance[, release under non-
 monetary conditions] or bail and [a new securing order fixing  bail  or]
 commitment[, as specified in this paragraph and] pursuant to this subdi-
 vision shall be for the following periods, EITHER:
   [(i)  Under paragraph (a) of this subdivision, revocation of the order
 of recognizance, release under non-monetary conditions or, as  the  case
 may  be,  bail,  and  a new securing order fixing bail or committing the
 defendant to the custody of the sheriff shall be as follows:
   (A)] (I) For a period not to exceed ninety days exclusive of any peri-
 ods of adjournment requested by the defendant; or
   [(B)] (II) Until the charges contained within the  accusatory  instru-
 ment  have  been  reduced  or dismissed such that no count remains which
 charges the defendant with commission of a felony; or
   [(C)] (III) Until reduction or  dismissal  of  the  charges  contained
 within  the  accusatory  instrument charging the subsequent offense such
 that no count remains which charges the defendant with commission  of  a
 class A or violent felony offense.
   Upon  expiration  of  any  of  the three periods specified within this
 [subparagraph] PARAGRAPH, whichever is shortest, the court may grant  or
 deny  release  upon  an order of bail or recognizance in accordance with
 the provisions of this  article.  Upon  conviction  to  an  offense  the

 S. 1523--A                         17
 
 provisions  of  THIS article [five hundred thirty of this chapter] shall
 apply[; and].
   [(ii) Under paragraph (b) of this subdivision, revocation of the order
 of  recognizance,  release under non-monetary conditions or, as the case
 may be, bail shall result in the issuance of a new securing order  which
 may,  if  otherwise authorized by law, permit the principal's release on
 recognizance or release under non-monetary conditions,  but  shall  also
 render  the defendant eligible for an order fixing bail provided, howev-
 er, that in accordance with the principles in this title the court  must
 select  the  least  restrictive  alternative and condition or conditions
 that will reasonably assure the principal's return to court.  Nothing in
 this subparagraph shall be  interpreted  as  shortening  the  period  of
 detention,  or  requiring  or authorizing any less restrictive form of a
 securing order, which may be imposed pursuant to any other law.
   (e)] (C) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a) [or  (b)]  of
 this  subdivision  a defendant, against whom a felony complaint has been
 filed which charges the defendant  with  commission  of  a  class  A  or
 violent felony offense [or violation of section 215.15, 215.16 or 215.17
 of  the penal law] committed while he OR SHE was at liberty as specified
 therein, may be committed to the custody of the sheriff pending a  revo-
 cation  hearing  for  a period not to exceed seventy-two hours. An addi-
 tional period not to exceed seventy-two hours  may  be  granted  by  the
 court  upon  application of the district attorney upon a showing of good
 cause or where the failure to  commence  the  hearing  was  due  to  the
 defendant's request or occurred with his OR HER consent. Such good cause
 must  consist  of  some  compelling fact or circumstance which precluded
 conducting the hearing within the initial prescribed period.

 court [except as provided in subdivision two of section 510.50  of  this
 chapter  regarding  a  failure to appear,] shall direct the defendant to

 medically  prescribed  drug  treatments  under the care of a health care
 professional licensed or certified under title eight  of  the  education
 law,  acting  within his or her lawful scope of practice. The [relevant]
 provisions of SUBDIVISION ONE OF section 530.60 of this chapter relating

 sentence,  it may commit such person to the custody of the sheriff[,] OR
 fix bail[, release such person under non-monetary conditions] or release
 such person on such person's own recognizance for future appearance at a
 hearing to be held in accordance with section 410.70 of this article. If
 the court does not have reasonable cause to believe that such person has
 violated a condition of the sentence, it must direct that such person be
 released.

 in whole or in part, the court must, to the extent a protective order is
 not warranted, order the prosecutor to comply with the request if it  is
 satisfied that the items of factual information requested are authorized
 to  be  included  in a bill of particulars, and that such information is
 necessary to enable the defendant adequately to prepare or  conduct  his
 defense  and,  if  the request was untimely, a finding of good cause for
 the delay. Where a prosecutor has not timely served  a  written  refusal
 pursuant  to  subdivision four of this section the court must, unless it

 part] SUBDIVISION ONE OF SECTION 240.70 OF THIS PART.

 five  day period shall commence on the date counsel initially appears on
 defendant's behalf.

 VISION THREE OF SECTION 240.10 OF THIS PART, in its possession, custody,
 or  control  that  was  secured  in connection with the investigation or
 prosecution of the defendant upon credible allegations by the  defendant
 and  a  finding  by  the court that such property, if obtained, would be
 probative to the determination of defendant's actual innocence, and that
 the request is reasonable. The court shall deny or limit such a  request
 upon  a  finding  that  such  a  request, if granted, would threaten the
 integrity or chain of custody of property or the integrity of the  proc-
 esses  or  functions of a laboratory conducting DNA testing, pose a risk
 of harm, intimidation, embarrassment, reprisal, or  other  substantially
 negative  consequences  to any person, undermine the proper functions of
 law enforcement including the confidentiality of informants, or  on  the

 S. 1523--A                         27
 
 basis  of  any  other factor identified by the court in the interests of
 justice or public safety. The court shall further ensure that any  prop-
 erty  produced  pursuant  to  this  paragraph is subject to a protective
 order, where appropriate. The court shall deny any request made pursuant
 to this paragraph where:

   3.  An attorney for a defendant in a criminal action or proceeding, as
 an officer of a criminal court, may issue  a  subpoena  of  such  court,

 attorney  for  a  defendant  may not issue a subpoena duces tecum of the
 court directed to any department, bureau or agency of the state or of  a
 political subdivision thereof, or to any officer or representative ther-
 eof[, unless the subpoena is indorsed by the court and provides at least
 three days for the production of the requested materials. In the case of
 an  emergency,  the  court  may  by  order  dispense  with the three-day
 production period]. SUCH A SUBPOENA DUCES TECUM MAY BE ISSUED IN  BEHALF
 OF A DEFENDANT UPON ORDER OF A COURT PURSUANT TO THE RULES APPLICABLE TO
 CIVIL  CASES  AS  PROVIDED  IN SECTION TWENTY-THREE HUNDRED SEVEN OF THE

   10.  Where  there  has been a failure to comply with the provisions of
 this section, and where the district attorney does  not  demonstrate  to
 the  satisfaction  of  the  court  that  such failure has not caused the
 defendant prejudice, the court shall  instruct  the  jury  that  it  may
 consider  such  failure  in  determining  the  weight  to  be given such
 evidence and may also impose any other sanction set forth in subdivision
 one of section [245.80] 240.70 of the criminal procedure law;  provided,
 however,  that  unless  the  defendant has convinced the court that such
 failure has caused him undue prejudice, the court shall not preclude the
 district attorney from introducing into evidence  the  property,  photo-
 graphs,  photocopies,  or  other reproductions of the property or, where
 appropriate, testimony concerning its value and  condition,  where  such
 evidence  is  otherwise  properly authenticated and admissible under the
 rules of evidence. Failure to  comply  with  any  one  or  more  of  the
 provisions  of  this  section shall not for that reason alone be grounds
 for dismissal of the accusatory instrument.

 sary  for  preparation  by  the defendant with respect to the forfeiture
 proceeding pursuant to such section. The court may  issue  a  protective
 order  denying,  limiting,  conditioning,  delaying  or  regulating such
 discovery where a danger to the integrity  of  physical  evidence  or  a
 substantial  risk  of  physical  harm,  intimidation, economic reprisal,
 bribery or unjustified annoyance or embarrassment to any  person  or  an

 S. 1523--A                         28
 
 adverse  effect  upon the legitimate needs of law enforcement, including
 the protection of the confidentiality of informants, or any other factor

 article two hundred [forty-five] FORTY of the  criminal  procedure  law,
 when  forfeiture  is  sought pursuant to this article, and following the
 defendant's arraignment on the special forfeiture information, the court
 shall order discovery of any information not otherwise  disclosed  which
 is  material  and  reasonably necessary for preparation by the defendant
 with respect to a forfeiture proceeding brought pursuant to  this  arti-
 cle.  Such  material  shall  include  those  portions  of the grand jury
 minutes and such other information which pertain solely to  the  special
 forfeiture  information and shall not include information which pertains
 to the criminal charges. Upon application of the prosecutor,  the  court
