H.R. 5625: Cashless Bail Reporting Act
Sponsor
Mark Harris
Republican · NC-8
What H.R. 5625 does
H.R. 5625, the Cashless Bail Reporting Act, would require the Department of Justice to publish a list each year of state and local governments that let people charged with certain offenses be released before trial on their own promise to appear or on an unsecured bond, one that requires no money up front.
The offenses covered are those that pose a clear threat to public safety and order: violent or sexual offenses such as burglary, murder or rape, and offenses that promote public disorder such as looting or vandalism. An August 25, 2025 executive order already told the Department to compile a similar list of jurisdictions.
