Provides that a court, in setting bail, shall consider all relevant information available to the court. Removes a provision requiring a court to consider releasing a defendant without money bail under certain circumstances, and prohibits a court from releasing certain arrestees without money bail. Provides that a court is not required to administer a pretrial risk assessment to an arrestee if doing so will unduly delay the consideration of an appropriate amount of bail for an arrestee. (Under current law, a court is not required to administer an assessment if doing so will delay the arrestee's release.)
