S 3919 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Keep Violent Criminals Off Our Streets Act

This bill withholds federal crime prevention grants from states or local governments that maintain policies prohibiting cash bail for all offenders or fail to use pretrial detention for every violent offender (including juveniles). It directly affects state and local governments that have such bail or pretrial detention policies. The key mechanism requires these entities to change their policies to qualify for federal grants under the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act. Failure to comply results in ineligibility for these specific grants starting the fiscal year after the bill's enactment.
