SALT LAKE CITY Utah lawmakers didn t revisit their contentious repeal of bail reform during a special session Wednesday, but they did take a small step allowing more Utahns to be released from jail ahead of trial.
The Legislature passed a measure that allows sheriffs to once again release certain suspects on a promise to appear, so long as they don t pose a risk to public safety. The bill also requires the law enforcers to draft policies with criteria for who qualifies.
Lawmakers inadvertently prevented the releases in their 2020 reform law and subsequent repeal, said Sen. Todd Weiler, the bill s Senate sponsor. The Woods Cross Republican told colleagues Wednesday the new proposal is a no-brainer that will help address just 2% of the problem.
