Well, it means it can change the circumstances under which they're tried and what they might have to do as a condition. Do you want to discuss that? Attorney General Reno. What it is saying--it is clearly constitutional to condition bail on testing. And what this says is, if you are going to get bail, you may have to agree to testing, you may have to agree to continued testing, to supervision, to certain conduct while you're on bail. Or it may mean that you have got to remain in the jail because the conditions would not ensure that you would be drug-free once you were on the streets.
