These are good changes and I support them. I also thank the governor for taking the intiative to improve our laws.

I'll support these changes. Though, I will say that until we hear news on how the Brevity Act is working, I still have deep reservations about that law.

I'm a bit addled at the moment.

However, to make a long story short...

Brevity Act: The way I'd written the law would only allow it for it to be applicable for half of the weekend, as opposed to its true intent. I thank a Person for pointing this out, and hope that this isn't too controversial.

Fair Bail Reform: Some were worried that this created a situation where judges might be more likely to deny bail outright, so I figure that this ought to at least mitigate that.

By a vote of 5-0-0, this bill passes and goes on to the Governor for his signature or veto.
