NY S07126

Expands bail eligibility to include all Class A felonies under Article 220 of the penal law (controlled substance offenses), removing the previous restriction that limited bail-eligible offenses to only Class A-I felonies

Adds a new category of qualifying offenses for bail: any Article 220 offense involving the sale or possession with intent to sell of controlled substances or synthetic opioids

Specifically names fentanyl, fentanyl analogues, nitazene, and nitazene analogues as synthetic opioids covered under the new bail provisions

Amends three sections of the criminal procedure law (510.10, 530.20, and 530.40) to implement these changes across arraignment, superior court bail, and bail modification procedures

Updates gendered language throughout the affected sections from "his or her" to "their"
