Federal list would name places that allow cashless bail
Also known as: Cashless Bail Reporting Act
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.
