Court Actions Related to Failure to Appear in Court
What it does: Under current law, a court is required to release a person on a personal recognizance bond if the person was charged with an offense for a violation with a maximum penalty that does not exceed 6 months' imprisonment and the court cannot require the person to give security of any kind for their appearance for trial other than their personal recognizance, unless certain conditions exist. The bill clarifies that these provisions apply in both state and municipal courts. (official summary)

“Not voting” is a recorded non-vote, not a reason for the absence. Parties come from public rosters; how we count.
