AS 12.30.006. Release Procedures.
(a) At the first appearance before a judicial officer, a person charged with an offense shall be released or detained
under the provisions of this chapter.
(b) At the first appearance before a judicial officer, a person may be detained up to 48 hours for the prosecuting
authority to demonstrate that release of the person under AS 12.30.011 would not reasonably ensure the appearance of the person or will pose
a danger to the victim, other persons, or the community, if the person has
- (1) been charged with an unclassified, class A, class B, or class C felony; or
- (2) a criminal conviction or charge outside the state.
(c) A person who remains in custody 48 hours after appearing before a judicial officer because of inability to meet
the conditions of release shall, upon application, be entitled to have the conditions reviewed by the judicial officer who imposed them. If
the judicial officer who imposed the conditions of release is not available, any judicial officer in the judicial district may review the
conditions.
(d) If a person remains in custody after review of conditions by a judicial officer under (c) of this section, the
person may request a subsequent review of conditions. Unless the prosecuting authority stipulates otherwise or the person has been
incarcerated for a period equal to the maximum sentence for the most serious charge for which the person is being held, a judicial officer
may not schedule a bail review hearing under this subsection unless
- (1) the person provides to the court and the prosecuting authority a written statement that new information not
considered at the previous review will be presented at the hearing; the statement must include a description of the information and the
reason the information was not presented at a previous hearing; in this paragraph, “new information” includes the person's inability to post
the required bail if the person can show that the person made a good faith effort to post the required bail;
- (2) the prosecuting authority and any surety, if applicable, have at least 48 hours' written notice before the time
set for the review requested under this subsection; the defendant shall notify the surety; and
- (3) at least seven days have elapsed between the previous review and the time set for the requested review; however,
a person may receive only one bail review hearing solely for inability to pay.
(e) A judicial officer may solicit comments by the victim or a parent or guardian of a minor victim who is present at
the bail review hearing and wishes to comment. The judicial officer shall consider those comments and any response by the person before making
a decision concerning the release of the person.
(f) The judicial officer shall issue written or oral findings that explain the reasons the officer imposed the
particular conditions of release or modifications or additions to conditions previously imposed. The judicial officer shall inform the person
that a law enforcement officer or a pretrial services officer under AS 33.07 may arrest the person without a warrant for violation of the court's order
establishing conditions of release.
(g) Information offered or introduced at a bail hearing to determine conditions of release need not conform to the
rules governing the admissibility of evidence.
