Bill summary
House committee substitute to the 2nd edition makes the following changes. Amends GS 15A-533(h) (right to pretrial release in capital and noncapital cases) as follows. Adds a pretrial services program to the entities that must provide defendant information to the judge and expands upon the information to also include risk assessments. Requires a judge setting conditions of pretrial release to return any criminal history/risk assessment report obtained from a confidential database to the providing agency or department (previously, no distinction between confidential and nonconfidential sources of information in return requirement). Now specifies that the nonrestricted information will become part of the court record.
