Prohibits federal funds for states or local governments that limit cash bail for certain offenses.
The bill amends the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to prevent the Attorney General from awarding grants to states or local governments that substantially limit cash bail for individuals charged with offenses deemed to pose a clear threat to public safety and order. These offenses include violent crimes such as murder, rape, and assault, as well as public disorder offenses like looting and rioting. The prohibition takes effect starting from the fiscal year beginning on the first October 1 after the enactment of the Keep Violent Criminals Off Our Streets Act.
