Expands the list of firearm-related offenses that qualify for bail eligibility, making it easier to detain defendants charged with any misdemeanor or felony involving use or possession of a firearm, shotgun or rifle.
(v) any misdemeanor or felony offense involving the use or possession of a firearm, shotgun or rifle.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds broad new qualifying offenses for bail eligibility covering any use or possession of a firearm, shotgun or rifle (expanding the scope of cases where defendants can be held on bail rather than released on recognizance). It also strikes prior limiting language that capped the list of qualifying weapon offenses. This is a firearms bill because it directly addresses offenses involving firearms and changes pretrial detention rules tied to them; no other listed topics are substantively addressed.
