On December 5, 2016, Assembly member Rob Bonta, in partnership with California State Senator Bob Hertzberg, introduced the California Money Bail Reform Act of 2017 (Assembly Bill 42 and Senate Bill 10). As an ally to communities of color, Bonta was driven to address the disparities created by the bail system. The legislation aims to better serve Californians by reforming the commercial surety bail system. The objective of our project is to assist our client in evaluating policy alternatives to the commercial surety bail system, which could significantly impact California’s criminal justice system.
