No Bailouts for Cashless Bail Jurisdictions Act

This bill prohibits the federal government from providing funds to any local jurisdiction that has largely eliminated cash bail for serious crimes. Under the law, the Attorney General must review and publicly announce which areas have stopped using cash bail for offenses such as violent crimes, sex offenses, burglary, and looting. If a jurisdiction is found to be in violation of this rule, it loses access to federal funding until it either re-establishes cash bail or waits 180 days after the initial determination. The measure directly impacts state and local governments by linking their receipt of federal money to their pretrial release policies.
