A 10-bill package taking aim at the state\u2019s \u201cpay or stay\u201d cash bail system could be picking up momentum a few months after dying in the Michigan House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bills seek to stop counties from keeping low-income, low-risk offenders in jail because of an inability to make bail unless the defendants pose a danger or flight risk. The legislation creates best practices for judges who are setting bonds, allows defendants to fill out a financial disclosure form\u00a0and requires quarterly bail reports from district and circuit courts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We\u2019re all Americans and I think it shocks the conscience of both liberals and conservatives and moderates when we have a justice system that is rationed by the thickness of your wallet,\u201d said Sen. Jeff Irwin, D-Ann Arbor.
