Matched Legal Cases: ['§804', '§804', '§804', '§804', '§804', '§804', '§353']

SECTION 1. (a) The legislature finds that house concurrent resolution no. 134, house draft 1 (2017), requested the judiciary to convene a criminal pretrial task force to:
(1) Examine and, as needed, recommend legislation and revisions to criminal pretrial practices and procedures to increase public safety while maximizing pretrial release of those who do not pose a danger or a flight risk; and
(2) Identify and define best practices metrics to measure the relative effectiveness of the criminal pretrial system, and establish ongoing procedures to take such measurements at appropriate time intervals.
Accordingly, the judiciary convened a criminal pretrial task force that consisted of twenty-nine members from various agencies and organizations with a broad spectrum of knowledge and experience. The task force membership included judges from circuit and district courts; the chair of the senate committee on public safety, intergovernmental, and military affairs; the chair of the house of representatives committee on judiciary; court administrator representatives from each circuit court; a representative from the department of the attorney general; a representative from the department of health; a representative from the department of public safety; a representative of the office of Hawaiian affairs; the police chiefs of the counties of Hawaii, Kauai, Maui, and the city and county of Honolulu; the prosecuting attorneys for the counties of Hawaii, Kauai, and Maui; a representative of the prosecuting attorney for the city and county of Honolulu; a representative of the office of the public defender; representatives of the criminal defense bar from each of the four counties; and a member of the public. Six subcommittees were formed, and each subcommittee met or otherwise exchanged information numerous times to facilitate the work of the task force. The task force met in plenary session a total of twelve times between August 11, 2017, and July 6, 2018. The task force submitted its report to the legislature on December 14, 2018. The report contains twenty-five recommendations, some of which were accompanied by proposed legislation that was authored by the task force.
(b) The purpose of this Act is to implement the recommendations of the criminal pretrial task force as follows:
(1) Parts II, III, and IV, except section 12, of this Act implement recommendations of the task force that were accompanied by proposed legislation authored by the task force, with only technical, nonsubstantive changes to the task force's language for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style;
(2) Section 12 of this Act implements recommendations of the task force that were accompanied by proposed legislation and recommendations that were unaccompanied by proposed legislation;
(3) Parts V, VI, VII, VIII, and IX of this Act implement recommendations of the task force for which no proposed legislation was provided; however, these parts incorporate, as much as possible, substantive language contained in the task force's recommendations.
SECTION 2. The purpose of this part is to improve clarity and consistency in the criminal pretrial system by requiring that intake service centers:
(1) Conduct pretrial risk assessments and prepare bail reports within two working days of the offender's admission to a community correctional center;
(2) Inquire and report on the offender's financial circumstances;
(3) Evaluate the offender's risk of violence;
(4) Include the fully executed pretrial risk assessment as part of the bail report; and
(5) Periodically review and further validate the pretrial risk assessment tool at least every five years to evaluate the effectiveness of the tool and the procedures associated with its administration, and publicly report the findings of periodic reviews.
SECTION 3. Section 353-10, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (b) to read as follows:
(3) Conduct internal pretrial risk assessments on adult offenders within [three] two working days of admission to a community correctional center [which shall then be provided to the court for its consideration]; provided that this paragraph shall not apply to persons subject to county or state detainers[,] or holds, [or] persons detained without bail, persons detained for probation violation, persons facing revocation of bail or supervised release, and persons who have had a pretrial risk assessment completed prior to admission to a community correctional center. For purposes of this [[]paragraph[]], "pretrial risk assessment" means an objective, research-based, validated assessment tool that measures [a defendant's] an offender's risk of flight [and], risk of criminal conduct, and risk of violence or harm to any person or the general public while on pretrial release pending adjudication[;]. The pretrial risk assessment tool and procedures associated with its administration shall be periodically reviewed and subject to further validation at least every five years to evaluate the effectiveness of the tool and the procedures associated with its administration. The findings of periodic reviews shall be publicly reported;
(8) Make inquiry with the offender concerning the offender's financial circumstances and include this information in the bail report; and
[(8)] (9) Provide pretrial bail reports to the courts on adult offenders, within two working days of admission of the offender to a community correctional center, that are [consented to by the defendant or that are] ordered by the court[.] or consented to by the offender. A complete copy of the executed pretrial risk assessment delineating the scored items, the total score, any administrative scoring overrides applied, and written explanations for administrative scoring overrides, shall be included in the pretrial bail report.

SECTION 4. The purpose of this part is to provide viable alternatives to arrest for low-risk defendants who have not demonstrated a risk of non-appearance in court while still protecting the public from the risk of further crime by:
(1) Reinforcing that police officers have the discretion to issue citations for traffic offenses, violations, petty misdemeanors, and misdemeanors; and

(1) [Will] The person will appear in court at the time designated;
(2) [Has] The person has no outstanding arrest warrants [which] that would justify the person's detention or give indication that the person might fail to appear in court; [and]

SECTION 8. Section 804-3, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsections (a) through (c) to read as follows:
"(a) For purposes of this section[, "serious crime"]:
"Bail" includes release on one's own recognizance, supervised release, and conditional release.
"Serious crime" means murder or attempted murder in the first degree, murder or attempted murder in the second degree, [or] a class A [or B] felony, [except forgery in the first degree and failing to render aid under section 291C-12, and "bail" includes release on one's own recognizance, supervised release, and conditional release.] or a class B or C felony involving violence or threat of violence to any person.
(b) [Any person charged with a criminal offense shall be bailable by sufficient sureties; provided that bail may be denied where the charge is for a serious crime, and:] There shall be a rebuttable presumption that a person charged with a criminal offense, other than a serious crime, shall be released or admitted to bail under the least restrictive conditions required to ensure the person's appearance and to protect the public, unless the prosecution demonstrates by clear and convincing evidence that:
(2) There is a serious risk that the person will obstruct or attempt to obstruct justice, or [therefore,] injure[,] or intimidate, or attempt to thereafter[,] injure[,] or intimidate, a prospective witness or juror;
If the prosecution demonstrates by clear and convincing evidence that one or more of the foregoing serious risks exists, the person shall be detained if the court finds that no condition or combination of conditions is sufficient to reasonably eliminate, reduce, or mitigate the risks presented.
(c) Under subsection (b)(1) a rebuttable presumption arises that there is a serious risk that the person will flee or will not appear as directed by the court where the person is charged with a criminal offense punishable by imprisonment for life with or without possibility of parole. For purposes of subsection (b)(3) and (4) a rebuttable presumption arises that the person poses a serious danger to any person or community or will engage in illegal activity where the court determines that:
(1) The [defendant] person has been previously convicted of a serious crime involving violence or threat of violence against a person within the ten-year period preceding the date of the charge against the [defendant;] person;
(2) The [defendant] person is [already on bail on] pending trial or sentencing for a felony charge involving violence or threat of violence against a person; or
(3) The [defendant] person is on probation or parole for a serious crime involving violence or threat of violence to a person."
"§804-4 When a matter of right. (a) If the charge is for an offense for which bail is allowable under section 804-3, the defendant may be admitted to bail before conviction as a matter of right[.] and under the least restrictive conditions required to ensure the defendant's appearance and to protect the public. Except for section 712-1207(7), bail shall be allowed for any person charged under section 712-1207 only subject to the mandatory condition that the person observe geographic restrictions that prohibit the defendant from entering or remaining on public property, in Waikiki and other areas in the State designated by county ordinance during the hours from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.; and provided further that nothing contained in this subsection shall be construed as prohibiting the imposition of stricter geographic restrictions under section 804-7.1. The right to bail shall continue after conviction of a misdemeanor, petty misdemeanor, or violation, and release on bail may continue, in the discretion of the court, after conviction of a felony until the final determination of any motion for a new trial, appeal, habeas corpus, or other proceedings that are made, taken, issued, or allowed for the purpose of securing a review of the rulings, verdict, judgment, sentence, or other proceedings of any court or jury in or by which the defendant has been arraigned, tried, convicted, or sentenced; provided that:
(1) No bail shall be allowed after conviction and prior to sentencing in cases where bail was not available under section 804-3, or where bail was denied or revoked before conviction;
(2) No bail shall be allowed pending appeal of a felony conviction where a sentence of imprisonment has been imposed; and
Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, any person who violates these bail restrictions shall have the person's bail revoked after hearing and shall be imprisoned forthwith.
If the court makes these findings, the court shall order the release of the person in accordance with section 804-7.1[.] under the least restrictive conditions required to ensure the defendant's appearance and to protect the public. No defendant entitled to bail, whether bailed or not, shall be subject, without the defendant's written consent, to the operation of any sentence passed upon the defendant, while any proceedings to procure a review of any action of the trial court or jury in the premises are pending and undetermined, except as provided in section 641-14(a) or section 712-1207."
"§804-5 By whom allowed. In cases where the punishment for the offense charged may be imprisonment for life not subject to parole, or imprisonment for a term more than ten years with or without fine, a judge or justice of a court of record, including a district judge, shall be competent to admit the accused to bail, in conformity with sections 804-3 to 804-6. In all other cases, the accused may be so admitted to bail by any judge or justice of a court of record, including a district judge, and in cases, except under section 712-1207, where the punishment for the offense charged may not exceed two years' imprisonment with or without fine, the sheriff, the sheriff's deputy, the chief of police or any person named by the chief of police, or the sheriff of Kalawao, regardless of the circuit within which the alleged offense was committed, may admit the accused person to bail. The court shall impose conditions of release or bail that are the least restrictive conditions required to ensure the accused's appearance and to protect the public."

[When bail is offered and taken the prisoner shall be discharged from custody or imprisonment.] Any person for whom a monetary amount of bail has been set by the police, other law enforcement agency, or the court shall be permitted to post the bail amount at the police department, law enforcement agency, or community correctional center where the person is detained.

provided that the court shall impose the least restrictive non-financial conditions required to ensure the defendant's appearance and to protect the public.
SECTION 13. Section 804-9, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:
"§804-9 Amount. The amount of bail rests in the discretion of the justice or judge or the officers named in section 804-5[; but] and shall be set in a reasonable amount based upon all available information, including the offense alleged, possible punishment upon conviction, and offender's financial ability to afford bail. The bail amount should be so determined as not to suffer the wealthy to escape by the payment of a pecuniary penalty, nor to render the privilege useless to the poor. [In all cases, the officer letting to bail should consider the punishment to be inflicted on conviction, and the pecuniary circumstances of the party accused.]"
