NJ S764

Courts may impose any combination of monetary bail and non-monetary conditions when prosecutors do not seek pretrial detention, allowing either the defendant or prosecutor to request monetary bail with required judicial consideration.

Establishes a rebuttable presumption of pretrial detention for defendants charged with first or second degree violent crimes listed under N.J.S.A.2C:43-7.2, expanding beyond current law which only covers murder and life imprisonment offenses.

Violent crimes triggering the new detention presumption include murder, aggravated manslaughter, vehicular homicide, aggravated assault, kidnapping, aggravated sexual assault, robbery, carjacking, aggravated arson, burglary, firearms trafficking, and terrorism.

Amends New Jersey's 2014 bail reform law to allow reliance on "monetary or non-monetary means" for pretrial release, rather than "primarily" non-monetary means.

Takes effect 90 days following enactment.
