Bill overview
This bill, the No Money Bail Act of 2019, aims to reduce the use of money bail in criminal cases, particularly at the federal level. It prohibits the use of money bail in federal criminal cases and threatens federal funding to states that continue to rely on it as a condition of pretrial release. The bill’s goals are to address inequities in the justice system and reduce the financial burden of pretrial detention on local governments. It encourages collaboration between various groups to develop safer and more cost-effective pretrial systems.
