Authorizes the court the discretion to release persons charged with certain crimes involving possession of a firearm on their own recognizance or under non-monetary conditions, fix bail, or commit the person to the custody of the sheriff.
Not law yet. Pending legislation.

Bill summary
Official digest is not on this card.
Now vs if chaptered
NOW: referred to Codes; current CPL 510.10 least-restrictive framework still governs. IF chaptered: Art. 265 machine-gun/silencer/ghost-gun/AWB calendars get a special remand-or-ROR discretion that skips least-restrictive analysis.
Defender utility
NY PDs on arraignment/bail calendars: live qualifying-offense expansion is a different pending print (A 01013). This bill would both authorize ROR and authorize remand without least-restrictive findings on the listed Art. 265 weapons. Until it chapters, argue current 510.10 least-restrictive language. Not a California charge.
Who this is for. NY PDs on Art. 265 arraignment/bail calendars — pending securing-order discretion rewrite, not present law; not a California charge.
Penalties (if chaptered)
No new possessory offense. Changes securing-order discretion only.
