SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A proposal to limit the use of cash bail for people arrested in Utah passed the Legislature Wednesday after supporters argued the current system can mean people who are presumed innocent stay stuck behind bars only because they don’t have money for bail. The plan to create a presumption of release for low-risk suspects passed the its final hurdle in the Utah Senate and now heads to Republican Utah Gov. Gary Herbert. The bill had support from prosecutors, sheriffs, defense attorneys and the courts. But it was opposed by the bail bond industry.
