Cashless Bail Reporting Act
Federal list would name places that allow cashless bail
Legislative Progress
Key Points
- The bill tells the U.S. Attorney General to publish a public list of every state, city, or county that allows some people to be released before trial without paying cash bail.
- The list would cover places that let someone go home based on a promise to return to court, or by signing a bond that doesn’t require paying money up front.
- If this becomes law, the list must go online within 30 days, and then be updated every 3 months.
- It does not ban cashless bail or force any state or local area to change its bail rules—it mainly creates a nationwide “who allows it” scoreboard.
