RI H7651

Establishes a presumption of release for probation violations that do not constitute a new criminal offense or involve only low-level substance use, requiring courts to set reasonable bail or non-monetary conditions

Limits pretrial detention to cases where the court finds the defendant presents a threat to the community or themselves, or when no conditions will reasonably assure appearance at the violation hearing

Requires courts to explain in writing or on the record their reasoning when denying release to an alleged probation violator

Mandates hearings within 30 days of arrest for most violations, reduced to 10 days (excluding weekends and holidays) for those held without bail

Removes prior provisions allowing courts to hold defendants without bail for up to 10 days for violent crimes, domestic violence, or DUI charges related to probation violations
