Jay Markell

There was a representation made today b a party who opposed this bill that violations of RSA 173-B restraining orders are not "bailable" i,.e., not eligible for bail. ). Today, the committee was provided with the following documents. AG report on Fuentes Gleason murder suicide which also deals with the issue of bail.; a , copy. RSA 173-B:9 dealing with arrest and detention of = violators, showing detention is only until arraignment ( not reflective of bail, at which time a bail determination is made.) See also RSA 597:2 which is the bail statute, with past and present changes to the statute. No where do any of those statutes give any support to that representation. Thank you for your attention and allowing me to testify in support of the bill. Jay Markell. Rockingham County District 18 Atkinson, NH
