The Constitution of Alabama of 2022 requires reasonable bail before conviction in all cases unless a defendant is charged with one of thirteen enumerated offenses. This bill would propose an amendment to the Constitution of Alabama of 2022 that would add to the list of enumerated offenses certain offenses related to the unlawful use or possession of a firearm. This bill would also add to the list of enumerated offenses any solicitation, attempt, or conspiracy to commit any of the offenses for which bail may be denied.
