NC House passes 'Iryna's Law', sending justice reform bill HB 307 to governorRALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- The North Carolina House of Representatives passed a bill on Tuesday that makes significant overhauls to the criminal justice system.
House Bill 307, also known as "Iryna's Law," passed 81-31 by what House Republicans called a "bipartisan, veto-proof majority."
Brown is charged with first-degree murder in state court and a federal count in connection with Zarutska's death.
Some of the key provisions of Iryna's Law include:Ending cashless bail: Certain defendants will no longer be released on a mere written promise to appear in court.
Iryna's Law prevents violent offenders from walking free and ensures that those who threaten our community face real consequences before they can harm another soul," Cotham said.
