Senate Bill No. 93, introduced by Senator Mizell, amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to establish minimum bail amounts for specific offenses related to child sexual abuse materials. The bill enacts a new provision under Article 315(D) that mandates district courts to set minimum bail amounts of $50,000 for possession of child sexual abuse materials and $100,000 for production of such materials. Additionally, it stipulates that any court not utilizing a bail schedule cannot approve a bail undertaking below these minimum amounts.

The bill also modifies Article 319(A) to clarify that while courts have the authority to increase or reduce bail amounts, they must adhere to the minimum amounts specified by law. This ensures that bail cannot be set lower than the established minimums for the specified offenses. The changes are set to take effect on August 1, 2026, and aim to enhance the seriousness with which these offenses are treated within the legal system.
