CA SB1049

Prohibits defendants arrested for specified serious, violent, or other felonies from applying to a magistrate for release on bail lower than the schedule or on their own recognizance.

Allows judges or magistrates to increase bail above the scheduled amount without a hearing if a sworn peace officer presents an oral or written declaration of facts under penalty of perjury justifying the increase.

Applies to bailable felony offenses and misdemeanor domestic violence order violations, as well as crimes listed in Section 1270.1 subdivision (a).

Specifies that no state reimbursement is required for this act because any costs incurred by local agencies result from changes to crime definitions or penalties under existing constitutional provisions.
