Testimony Wanted in Oahu
TESTIMONY WANTED: Reposting from John Deutzman "4/7/26 ATTENTION GROUP: BAIL REFORM STAYS ALIVE. GOES TO FLOOR VOTE: Despite lots of testimony in opposition from this group, the bail reform bill (HB2413) breezed through the Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday morning and will go to the Senate floor for a vote. There are 25 senators, and we need 13 no votes to kill it. Now is the time to send a personal email to the senator who represents your district. The information to contact your senator will be in the comments section below. If the bill becomes law, judges will be forced to release people arrested for many common crimes on their own recognizance. Class C felony arrests for auto theft, burglary, theft up to $19,999, habitual property crime, and more will require release. Also, most non-violent misdemeanors would be cut loose, including harassment, shoplifting, disorderly conduct, and trespassing. Judges already have the power to release people without bail if they believe they will return to court, and most judges only hold people with horrific records and dozens of warrants for failure to appear. The judges’ hands will be tied, and they must release people based on the crimes politicians feel are worthy of release."
