 IN ASSEMBLY

 January 21, 2026
 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. SEMPOLINSKI -- read once and referred to the
 Committee on Codes

 AN ACT to amend the criminal procedure law, in relation to ensuring
 repeat offenders qualify for bail and pre-trial detention

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. The opening paragraph and paragraphs (t) and (u) of subdi-
 2 vision 4 of section 510.10 of the criminal procedure law, the opening
 3 paragraph as amended by section 2 of subpart A of part VV of chapter 56
 4 of the laws of 2023, paragraph (t) as amended and paragraph (u) as added
 5 by section 2 of subpart B of part UU of chapter 56 of the laws of 2022,
 6 are amended and a new paragraph (v) is added to read as follows:
 7 Where the principal stands charged with a qualifying offense, the
 8 court, unless otherwise prohibited by law, may in its discretion release
 9 the principal pending trial on the principal's own recognizance or under
 10 non-monetary conditions, fix bail, or order non-monetary conditions in
 11 conjunction with fixing bail, or, where the defendant is charged with a
 12 qualifying offense [which is a felony], the court may commit the princi-
 13 pal to the custody of the sheriff. A principal stands charged with a
 14 qualifying offense for the purposes of this subdivision when [he or she]
 15 such principal stands charged with:
 16 (t) any felony or class A misdemeanor involving harm to an identifi-
 17 able person or property, or any charge of criminal possession of a
 18 firearm as defined in section 265.01-b of the penal law, where such
 19 charge arose from conduct occurring while the defendant was released on
 20 [his or her] such defendant's own recognizance, released under condi-
 21 tions, or had yet to be arraigned after the issuance of a desk appear-
 22 ance ticket for a separate felony or class A misdemeanor involving harm
 23 to an identifiable person or property, or any charge of criminal
 24 possession of a firearm as defined in section 265.01-b of the penal law,
 25 provided, however, that the prosecutor must show reasonable cause to
 26 believe that the defendant committed the instant crime and any underly-
 27 ing crime. For the purposes of this subparagraph, any of the underlying
 28 crimes need not be a qualifying offense as defined in this subdivision.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
 LBD05528-01-5

 A. 9628 2

 1 For the purposes of this paragraph, "harm to an identifiable person or
 2 property" shall include but not be limited to theft of or damage to
 3 property. However, based upon a review of the facts alleged in the accu-
 4 satory instrument, if the court determines that such theft is negligible
 5 and does not appear to be in furtherance of other criminal activity, the
 6 principal shall be released on [his or her] such principal's own recog-
 7 nizance or under appropriate non-monetary conditions; [or]
 8 (u) criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree as defined in
 9 subdivision three of section 265.02 of the penal law or criminal sale of
 10 a firearm to a minor as defined in
