No Bailouts for Cashless Bail Jurisdictions Act

This bill would bar all federal funds from going to any jurisdiction that the Attorney General determines has substantially eliminated cash bail as a possible condition of pretrial release for certain offenses. The Attorney General would make these determinations within 30 days of the law taking effect and at least every three months after that, and would publish each determination with an explanation. A jurisdiction losing funds could receive them again after the later of 180 days or the date it no longer substantially eliminates cash bail. Covered offenses include crimes of violence, sex offenses, indecent acts, crimes involving moral turpitude, burglary, vandalism, looting, and any other offense the Attorney General chooses.
