FL H1627

Creates a statewide uniform bail bond schedule effective January 1, 2024, adopted and updated annually by the Florida Supreme Court; chief judges may petition for Supreme Court approval of lower local schedules but may independently establish higher schedules.

Requires individualized bail determinations for persons meeting specific criteria, including those on prior pretrial release, designated sex offenders, protective injunction violators, violent felony offenders, or arrested three or more times in 6 months.

Expands the definition of "dangerous crime" to include 26 specified offenses; persons arrested for dangerous crimes cannot receive nonmonetary release at first appearance unless the court orders electronic monitoring or recognizance bond.

Authorizes courts to impose nonmonetary pretrial release conditions including employment requirements, curfews, substance abuse restrictions, firearm prohibitions, and mental health evaluations in addition to or instead of monetary bonds.

Establishes pretrial detention procedures requiring hearings within 5 days and mandating detention for capital, life, or first-degree felony dangerous crimes when probable cause exists and no release conditions adequately protect the community.
