SB 10: Will California Eliminate Cash Bail?

What do you know about SB 10?  The California Courts website's notice states:

Referendum 1856 (18-0009), Referendum to Overturn a 2018 Law That Replaced Money Bail System with a System Based on Public Safety Risk, qualified for the November 2020 ballot, after being certified by the Secretary of State on January 16, 2019. Qualification of the referendum has the effect of staying SB 10. At this time, the Judicial Council of California has suspended implementation of the legislation, including adoption of California Rules of Court. 

In addition, the new tiered sex offender registration statute will be discussed.  As time permits, there will be a review of other significant criminal law legislation effective this year.

Our speaker on the above issues will be County Superior Court retired Judge Richard Couzens on September 17, beginning at noon.
