6 amended to read as follows:
7 19-3934. ADMITTANCE TO BAIL. The defendant, at any time after his arrest,
8 and before conviction, may be admitted to bail. The provisions of this code

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 12513
This bill is one of a series of bills that the Supreme Court has recommended in its
annual report to the Governor concerning defects or omissions in the laws, as required under
article V, section 25 of the Idaho Constitution.
This bill amends Section 19-3934, Idaho Code, relating to the setting of bail for a
person criminally accused, to eliminate archaic references therein to "probate and
justices'" courts.
Section 19-3934, Idaho Code, provides that a defendant, at any time after his
arrest and before conviction, may be admitted to bail. This section goes on to state that
its provisions are applicable to "probate and justices'" courts. Probate and justices' courts
were abolished in 1969 during court reform to become a part of the present magistrates
division of the district court and are no longer in existence by that name.
FISCAL NOTE
This bill will not have an impact on state or local
funds.
