ALBANY — Democratic lawmakers are having buyers remorse after voting for a law that allows many criminal defendants to be released without bail pending trial, Republicans charge.

On Monday, a contingency headed by Long Island state Senators Jim Gaughran (D-Suffolk) and Monica Martinez (D-Suffolk) backed a new bill giving judges discretion to determine pre-trial requirements for certain criminal offenses.

The legislation adds manslaughter, certain sex crimes — including those against children, terrorism charges, high-level Class A felony drug crimes related to drug trafficking and bribery among elected officials.

“The bill focuses on individuals, whose release is guaranteed without the allowance of judicial discretion, who pose a clear and dangerous threat to public safety,” the lawmakers said in a press release.

Law enforcement have also heavily advocated for a reversal of the bail changes approved as part of the state budget earlier this year.

During a recent trip to Albany, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said he also supported a “dangerousness” standard that would allow judges to factor in whether a defendant could pose a risk to public safety.

“Remember, there are some people who are profoundly dangerous who have a proven, unfortunately, a proven record of being dangerous to their communities, but are not a flight risk,” de Blasio said. “In those cases, [the] judge’s hands are tied and they do not have a ready way to hold them in the way they need to. We need to come up with a very precise definition of dangerousness so that it is not overused.”

But the state Senate GOP blasted Democrats, not only for their late introduction of the bill but for also their original ‘yes’ vote on the omnibus budget law the cashless bail measure was contained in.

“These Senators could have chosen to stand up, show some leadership and reject these changes before they became law, but instead they went along with their New York City colleagues and failed their constituents. This legislation isn’t serious, it’s a cynical attempt to cover their butts. And, no one on Long Island is buying it,” Senate GOP spokesman Scott Reif said.

Senators Diane Savino (D-Staten Island/Queens), John Brooks (D-Nassau/Suffolk), Anna Kaplan (D-Nassau) and Kevin Thomas (D-Nassau) are all cosponsors of the legislation.

The legislative session ends on June 19.
