No Federal Funds for Cashless Bail Act

HR 5213, the "Keep Violent Criminals Off Our Streets Act," prohibits federal grants to states or local governments that have policies substantially limiting cash bail for individuals charged with specific violent or public disorder offenses. It directly affects state and local governments with bail policies allowing pretrial release for crimes like murder, rape, robbery, looting, or rioting. The bill amends federal law to block grant awards (under the Omnibus Crime Control Act) for any jurisdiction maintaining such bail policies for these covered offenses, starting in the fiscal year after enactment. This is a funding restriction, not a change to bail laws themselves.
