SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A ruling that sets bail at $0 for most misdemeanor and lower-level felonies in California must go into effect by 5 p.m. Monday.
The Judicial Council of California last week voted on the emergency order to temporarily end cash bail in some cases in an effort to reduce the inmate population and limit the spread of the coronavirus.
Those suspected of DUI, domestic violence and sex crimes are not included in the emergency order.
