House Bill No. by Representative Taylor amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to include specific provisions regarding the consideration of domestic abuse arrest records when setting bail in domestic abuse cases. The bill allows for the inclusion of arrest records from the previous five years that allege domestic abuse battery but did not result in a conviction as a factor in determining the amount of bail. This addition aims to enhance the safety of victims and the community by ensuring that a defendant's history of domestic abuse is taken into account, even if those incidents did not lead to a conviction.

In addition to this new provision, the bill also makes several amendments to existing factors considered when fixing bail. It renumbers the existing factors and incorporates the new provision as part of the overall criteria for assessing bail amounts. The changes reflect a legislative intent to prioritize the safety of victims and the community in domestic abuse situations by allowing a more comprehensive view of a defendant's past behavior.
