Article 530 - Orders of Recognizance or Bail With Respect to Defendants in Criminal Actions and Proceedings--When and by What Courts Authorized
530.60 - Certain Modifications of a Securing Order.

(b) Except as provided in paragraph (a) of this subdivision or any
other law, whenever in the course of a criminal action or proceeding a
defendant charged with the commission of an offense is at liberty as a
result of a securing order issued pursuant to this article it shall be
grounds for revoking such order and imposing a new securing order in
accordance with paragraph (d) of this subdivision, the basis for which
shall be made on the record or in writing, in such criminal action or
proceeding when the court has found, by clear and convincing evidence,
that the defendant:
(i) persistently and willfully failed to appear after notice of
scheduled appearances in the case before the court; or
(ii) violated an order of protection in the manner prohibited by
subdivision (b), (c) or (d) of section 215.51 of the penal law while at
liberty; or
(iii) stands charged in such criminal action or proceeding with a
misdemeanor or violation and, after being so charged, intimidated a
victim or witness in violation of section 215.15, 215.16 or 215.17 of
the penal law or tampered with a witness in violation of section 215.11,
215.12 or 215.13 of the penal law, law while at liberty; or
(iv) stands charged in such action or proceeding with a felony and,
after being so charged, committed a felony while at liberty.
(c) Before revoking an order of recognizance, release under
non-monetary conditions, or bail pursuant to this subdivision, the court
must hold a hearing and shall receive any relevant, admissible evidence
not legally privileged. The defendant may cross-examine witnesses and
may present relevant, admissible evidence on his own behalf. Such
hearing may be consolidated with, and conducted at the same time as, a
felony hearing conducted pursuant to article one hundred eighty of this
chapter. A transcript of testimony taken before the grand jury upon
presentation of the subsequent offense shall be admissible as evidence
during the hearing. The district attorney may move to introduce grand

jury testimony of a witness in lieu of that witness' appearance at the
hearing.
(d) Revocation of an order of recognizance, release under non-monetary
conditions or bail and a new securing order fixing bail or commitment,
as specified in this paragraph and pursuant to this subdivision shall be
for the following periods:
(i) Under paragraph (a) of this subdivision, revocation of the order
of recognizance, release under non-monetary conditions or, as the case
may be, bail, and a new securing order fixing bail or committing the
defendant to the custody of the sheriff shall be as follows:
(A) For a period not to exceed ninety days exclusive of any periods of
adjournment requested by the defendant; or
(B) Until the charges contained within the accusatory instrument have
been reduced or dismissed such that no count remains which charges the
defendant with commission of a felony; or
(C) Until reduction or dismissal of the charges contained within the
accusatory instrument charging the subsequent offense such that no count
remains which charges the defendant with commission of a class A or
violent felony offense.
Upon expiration of any of the three periods specified within this
subparagraph, whichever is shortest, the court may grant or deny release
upon an order of bail or recognizance in accordance with the provisions
of this article. Upon conviction to an offense the provisions of article
five hundred thirty of this chapter shall apply;
(ii) Under subparagraph (i) of paragraph (b) of this subdivision,
revocation of a previously issued securing order shall result in the
issuance of a new securing order which may, if otherwise authorized by
law, permit the principal's release on recognizance or release under
non-monetary conditions, but shall also render the defendant eligible
for an order fixing bail, or ordering non-monetary conditions in
conjunction with fixing bail, provided, however, that in accordance with
the principles in this title the court must impose a new securing order
in accordance with subdivision one of section 510.10 of this title, and
in imposing such order, may consider the circumstances warranting such
revocation. Nothing in this subparagraph shall be interpreted as
shortening the period of detention, or requiring or authorizing any less
restrictive form of a securing order, which may be imposed pursuant to
any other law; and
(iii) Under subparagraphs (ii), (iii), and (iv) of paragraph (b) of
this subdivision, revocation of a previously issued securing order shall
result in the issuance of a new securing order which may, if otherwise
authorized by law, permit the principal's release on recognizance or
release under non-monetary conditions, but shall also render the
defendant eligible for an order fixing bail or ordering non-monetary
conditions in conjunction with fixing bail. In issuing the new securing
order, the court shall consider the kind and degree of control or
restriction necessary to reasonably assure the principal's return to
court and compliance with court conditions, and select a securing order
consistent with its determination, taking into account the factors
required to be considered under subdivision one of section 510.10 of
this title, the circumstances warranting such revocation, and the nature
and extent of the principal's noncompliance with previously ordered
non-monetary conditions of the securing order subject to revocation
under this subdivision. Nothing in this subparagraph shall be
interpreted as shortening the period of detention, or requiring or
authorizing any less restrictive form of a securing order, which may be
imposed pursuant to any other law.
(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a) or (b) of this
subdivision a defendant, against whom a felony complaint has been filed
which charges the defendant with commission of a class A or violent
felony offense or violation of section 215.15, 215.16 or 215.17 of the
penal law committed while he was at liberty as specified therein, may be
committed to the custody of the sheriff pending a revocation hearing for
a period not to exceed seventy-two hours. An additional period not to
exceed seventy-two hours may be granted by the court upon application of
the district attorney upon a showing of good cause or where the failure
to commence the hearing was due to the defendant's request or occurred
with his consent. Such good cause must consist of some compelling fact
or circumstance which precluded conducting the hearing within the
initial prescribed period.
