Art. 312.1. Revocation of bail upon subsequent felony arrest

            A. If a defendant is admitted to bail for any crime of violence, any sex offense, or any crime involving the possession or use of a firearm, the bail for such offense shall be revoked upon any subsequent arrest for a felony offense that is not a part of the same transaction, occurrence, or criminal episode which resulted in the arrest that is the basis for the defendant's current admittance to bail.

            B.(1) Prior to booking the defendant, the arresting agency shall conduct a prompt and diligent search to determine if the defendant is currently on bail for any crime of violence, any sex offense, or any crime involving the possession or use of a firearm.

            (2) The arresting agency shall provide the court with the information described in Subparagraph (1) of this Paragraph, along with an updated criminal history with all other booking information, for the court to consider when determining the defendant's entitlement to bail, the amount of bail, and conditions of bail.

            C. If the court determines that the defendant is currently on bail for any crime of violence, any sex offense, or any crime involving the possession or use of a firearm, the bail for such offense shall be revoked upon any subsequent arrest for a felony offense that is not a part of the same transaction, occurrence, or criminal episode which resulted in the arrest that is the basis for the defendant's current admittance to bail. The court shall enter an order revoking such prior bail, pending a bail hearing which may be invoked by the state or the defendant. Either party may seek supervisory review of the granting or denial of any order that revokes the defendant's prior admittance to bail.

            (1) "Crime of violence" means any offense defined or enumerated as a crime of violence in R.S. 14:2(B).
