Senate Bill No. 94, introduced by Senator Wheat, amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to establish specific bail conditions for defendants charged with domestic offenses, stalking, sex offenses, and human trafficking. The bill requires courts to consider the defendant's previous criminal history and the potential threat to the victim when determining bail conditions. It expands the list of offenses for which these considerations apply to include human trafficking and trafficking of children for sexual purposes. The court is authorized to impose restrictions on the defendant's employment, particularly in roles that involve interaction with vulnerable populations, such as children.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that if a defendant poses a threat, they must refrain from contacting the victim or visiting their residence, school, or workplace. The court may also prohibit any form of communication with the victim or their immediate family unless consent is given. The proposed law aims to enhance the safety of victims and the community by ensuring that defendants charged with serious offenses are subject to stringent bail conditions that reflect the severity of their alleged crimes. The changes are set to take effect on August 1, 2026.
