State
Sen. Mike Martucci has introduced "Billy's Law."
The
legislation would require bail and pre-trial detention for all felony arson
charges.
This
comes after Forestburgh Fire Company Assistant Chief Billy Steinberg died in
the line of duty last month.
He was responding to a fire allegedly set by a serial arsonist.
The suspect in the fire had
been arrested the day before for previous charges but released due to
the state's bail reform law.
