Existing law authorizes a court to revoke the bail of a defendant upon a showing that the defendant committed a felony during the period of release. Existing law also authorizes a defendant to be held without bail pending the hearing on the revocation. (NRS 178.487) Upon such a showing, section 1 of this bill requires the bail of the defendant to be revoked and the defendant to be held without further bail pending trial of the offense for which the bail was revoked. Section 2 of this bill makes a conforming change by repealing certain procedures that contemplate the pretrial release of a defendant who was arrested for certain felonies while admitted to bail. (NRS 178.4855)
