✦ Plain-Language Summary

This bill would add certain gun-related crimes to the list of offenses where judges must consider setting bail instead of releasing defendants without bail. It means people charged with specific firearm violations could be required to post bail or remain in jail while awaiting trial. The change would affect how the criminal justice system handles cases involving illegal gun use.
