AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would bar certain federal grant programs from giving money to states or local governments that allow people to be released before trial on personal recognizance or on an unsecured appearance bond. Within 30 days of the law taking effect, and every year after, the U.S. Attorney General would identify those states and local governments and send a list to the federal agencies that run the covered grants. Those agencies would have 90 days to cut off the funds, and would have to restore funding within 180 days after a state or local government is removed from the list. The covered programs include Byrne Justice Assistance Grants, several Second Chance Act grants, Pell grants for incarcerated students, certain workforce, child abuse prevention, and Legal Services Corporation grants.
