A bill to prohibit the pretrial release of any person charged with an act of aggravated terrorism.

Summary

Directs that an individual charged with an act of terrorism be detained pending trial if a judicial officer determines that release would pose a danger to any other person or to the community. Deems an act of terrorism a dangerous crime for purposes of the pretrial release provisions of the District of Columbia Code and establishes a person's being charged with such an act as a rebuttable presumption that no conditions placed on his release could reasonably assure the safety of others and the community.
