"The budget also proposes getting rid of the “least restrictive” standard from the state bail law, which has seriously confused judges and prevented them from keeping suspects in custody."

“I want to remove any question about whether a judge has discretion to set bail or remand individuals meaning hold them if they’re accused of a serious crime,” Hochul said. “I want to make it absolutely clear that judges have both the authority and the accountability for these important decisions.”
