Summary of the Introduced Bill

HB 980 -- Post-Arrest Release

Sponsor:  Harris (23)

This bill requires persons arrested for the manufacture or
distribution of drugs to appear before a judge prior to being
released on bond.  In the bond hearing, evidence that the person
has a pattern of illegal use of a controlled substance creates a
rebuttable presumption that no conditions of release will assure
the safety of the community.
