Taking Steps to End Cashless Bail to Protect Americans

The order directs federal agencies to identify and potentially suspend or terminate federal funds to jurisdictions that have largely eliminated cash bail for crimes posing a clear threat to public safety. The Attorney General is tasked with creating a list of such jurisdictions, while the heads of executive departments and agencies, in coordination with the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, are responsible for identifying the funds in question. The aim is to discourage cashless bail policies that may allow individuals posing a societal risk to be released without bail.
