HCR 24-1002
signedConstitutional Bail Exception First Degree Murder
Plain-English Summary
AI-generatedHouse Concurrent Resolution 24-1002, which has been signed into law, amends the Colorado constitution to allow judges to deny bail to individuals charged with first-degree murder if there is strong evidence or a clear presumption of their guilt. This change affects people accused of this specific crime and allows for them to be held without bail until their trial. Since it has been signed, this resolution means that the constitutional right to bail no longer applies in cases of first-degree murder under certain conditions.
Official Summary

The concurrent resolution amends the Colorado constitution to add an exception for the offense of murder in the first degree when proof is evident or presumption is great.
(Note: This summary applies to this concurrent resolution as adopted.)
