Bill overview
This bill, the Ending Cashless Bail in Our Nation’s Capital Act, aims to prevent the District of Columbia from using ‘cashless bail’ practices. Cashless bail refers to systems that determine a defendant’s pretrial release based on algorithms and risk assessments, rather than requiring a monetary payment for release. The bill requires the District to continue using cash bail when public safety is a concern and mandates detention for defendants charged with violent crimes. It seeks to ensure that individuals are not detained solely based on their inability to pay for bail.
