Cashless Bail Reporting Act

This bill requires the Department of Justice to publish a yearly list of state and local governments that allow people charged with certain serious crimes — such as murder, rape, burglary, looting, or vandalism — to be released before trial without having to pay bail. Instead, these individuals would be released based on a promise to appear in court or a bond that doesn't require upfront payment. The bill also notes that President Donald Trump issued an executive order on August 25, 2025, directing the Department of Justice to compile a similar list of places that have largely gotten rid of cash bail for crimes considered a threat to public safety.
