Pretrial Release Reporting Act
HR 2833, the Pretrial Release Reporting Act, requires the Bureau of Justice Statistics to submit a detailed report to Congress within 180 days of enactment. The report must include data on individuals charged with specific violent felonies (such as murder, rape, robbery, or aggravated battery) who were granted bail or pretrial release in state courts. It will cover how many were rearrested for additional violent crimes, missed court dates, bail amounts, and factors courts use for release decisions, especially for those with prior violent felony convictions. This bill does not change release policies but mandates updated data collection to address gaps in existing reporting since 2020.
