This bill seeks to amend federal law regarding pretrial release, specifically section 3142(e) of title 18, United States Code. It introduces new provisions that would automatically deem certain individuals a danger to the safety of the community , thereby making them ineligible for release before trial. Under these proposed changes, a person would be denied pretrial release if they are charged with a felony offense and are an adult or charged as an adult. A critical condition for denial is having a prior felony conviction for a crime of violence that resulted in the individual serving a minimum of 30 days in a State or Federal correctional facility, explicitly excluding any period of pretrial detention without conviction.
