There is still confusion regarding different aspects of the
state’s new Bail Reform law, especially the "Discovery" Provision
that keeps police agencies from arresting suspected criminals if a lab report
is needed, Delaware County DA John Hubbard explains:

(John Hubbard 1-14-20)

Opponents to the Discovery portion of the bail reform bill
note that DA's offices & Law Enforcement agencies would need more personnel
to meet the 15 day requirement & some arrests might not even be made
initially, as it is often difficult to get certain lab tests performed in the
15 day time limit.
