Your BF's attorney or PD can put in such motions as you suggest. Unless you are a lawyer admitted to practice you cannot. The current suspension of hearings due to Covid 19 has an exception for bond motions. You should direct your observations to his attorney or PD. You could retain a lawyer for him if he does not have onr.

Unless you are a lawyer or a pro se defendant you cannot either "put in a motion to reinstate pretrial terms" or "a motion to reinstate Bond".

Only lawyers and pro se defendant's can file motions. When anyone else "puts in a motion" then that is called "unlawful practice of law" and it is a potential crime.

If you want a Judge to rule on a matter (regarding bond or otherwise) then you need to have a lawyer prepare a legally sufficient motion, electronically file it, serve it on all relevant parties, calendar it for hearing (with sufficient time for all other parties to respond and appear) and then litigate it. That is the legal process.

Wishing your b/f luck and hoping that I have been helpful in answering your question.
