 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. The opening paragraph and paragraphs (a), (d), (j), (t) and
 (u) of subdivision 4 of section 510.10 of the  criminal  procedure  law,
 the  opening  paragraph  and paragraphs (a) and (d) as amended and para-

 2020, and paragraph (t) as amended and paragraph (u) as added by section
 2 of subpart B of part UU of chapter 56 of the laws of 2022, are amended
 and two new paragraphs (v) and (w) are 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

 robbery in the second degree as defined in subdivision  one  of  section
 160.10  of the penal law, provided, however, that burglary in the second
 degree as defined in subdivision two of section 140.25 of the penal  law
 shall  be  a qualifying offense only where the defendant is charged with
 entering the living area of the dwelling];
   (d) a class A felony AS defined in the penal law[, provided  that  for
 class A felonies under article two hundred twenty of the penal law, only
 class A-I felonies shall be a qualifying offense];
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
