Provides that when a defendant released pretrial is charged with a violation of any criminal offense committed while on pretrial release, the State may seek revocation of the defendant's pretrial release (rather than when a defendant has previously been granted pretrial release for a felony or Class A misdemeanor, that pretrial release may be revoked only if the defendant is charged with a felony or Class A misdemeanor that is alleged to have occurred during the defendant's pretrial release after a hearing on the court's own motion or upon the filing of a verified petition by the State).
