WHAT THE BILL DOES
AI-writtenThis bill matters because it would create a single, public resource that details where cashless bail policies are in effect across the United States. Currently, finding this information often requires sifting through various state and local laws, which can be time-consuming and difficult for an average person.
If this bill becomes law, it would increase transparency around different approaches to pretrial release. This could allow for easier public discussion, comparison, and evaluation of these policies. Without this bill, there wouldn't be a centralized federal list, making it harder for voters to track and understand these specific criminal justice reforms in different jurisdictions.
KEY PROVISIONS
4AI-extractedPROVISION 01
Directs the Attorney General to compile and publish a list of states and local governments that permit cashless bail.
This creates a central, public database for a specific type of pretrial release policy.
PROVISION 02
Requires the initial list to be made public within 30 days of the bill becoming law.
This sets a clear and prompt deadline for the information to be made available to the public.
PROVISION 03
Mandates that the Attorney General update the list on a quarterly basis.
This ensures the published information remains current and reflects ongoing changes in local bail policies.
PROVISION 04
Defines 'cashless bail' as release on personal recognizance or an unsecured appearance bond.
This clarifies precisely what types of pretrial release policies are to be included on the list, avoiding ambiguity.
