   On page 2, after line 15, insert the following:

   "NEW SECTION. Sec. 4. A new section is added to chapter 10.19 RCW to read as follows:

   Notwithstanding CrR 3.2, a court may not release a defendant arrested or charged with a serious violent offense as defined in RCW 9.94A.030 on the offender's personal recognizance, the offender's personal recognizance with conditions, or on bail unless:

   (1) The prosecutor charging the defendant agrees to the defendant's pretrial release; and

   (2) The offender posts with the court a liability bond, in an amount determined by the court, for the purposes of covering any damages or injuries to third persons caused by the offender while on pretrial release."

 

Renumber the remaining section consecutively and correct the title.

 

 

EFFECT: Provides that a court may not release a person charged with a serious violent offense unless the prosecutor agrees to the pretrial release and the offender posts a liability bond, in an amount determined by the court, to cover damages or injuries to third persons caused by the offender while on pretrial release.
