Summary
This bill amends the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to prohibit the award of Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grants to states or local governments that have policies substantially limiting cash bail for individuals charged with certain crimes. The bill defines 'covered offenses' as crimes posing a clear threat to public safety, including violent crimes (murder, rape, assault, robbery, burglary, carjacking) and offenses promoting public disorder (looting, vandalism, rioting, fleeing law enforcement). Beginning in the fiscal year after enactment, the Attorney General cannot award, renew, or extend these grants to jurisdictions with policies that substantially limit cash bail as a condition for defendants charged with covered offenses.
