Show full summary
  • States and local governments: Jurisdictions that permit release pending trial on personal recognizance or an unsecured appearance bond for specified violent or public disorder offenses would be publicly identified.
  • Attorney General and the Department of Justice: The Attorney General must create and maintain a publicly accessible roster, with the first publication due within one year and yearly updates thereafter.
  • Public, victims, researchers, and journalists: These groups gain a single, recurring source to see where cashless pretrial release is allowed for crimes such as murder, rape, robbery, looting, rioting, and fleeing from law enforcement.

Public list of places allowing cashless bail

If enacted, the Attorney General would publish a public list of places that allow release before trial without cash bail. The first list would be due no later than one year after enactment. It would be updated every year. It would apply to people charged with “covered offenses” the Attorney General finds a clear threat to public safety. Examples include violent or sexual crimes like murder, rape, robbery, burglary, and assault. It also includes public disorder crimes like looting, vandalism, rioting, or fleeing from police. This would not change any bail rules. It would only report which places allow these releases.
