Annual list of cashless bail jurisdictions

This bill would require the Attorney General to publish a public list each year. It would name every state and local government that allows release before trial without cash for covered offenses. Cashless release would include personal recognizance or an unsecured appearance bond. The first list would be due within one year after enactment, then updated annually. The Attorney General would define "covered offenses," including violent or sexual crimes (murder, rape, sexual assault, carjacking, robbery, burglary, assault) and public disorder crimes (looting, vandalism, destruction of property, rioting or inciting to riot, fleeing from police). This would be a transparency report only and would not change bail amounts or who can be released.
