H.R. 6260: Keeping Violent Offenders Off Our Streets Act of 2025
Sponsor
Scott Fitzgerald
Republican · WI-5
What H.R. 6260 does
H.R. 6260 would treat paying bail as the business of insurance under federal law. That covers posting cash bail, criminal bail bonds and federal immigration bail bonds, so groups that pay bail for defendants, such as charitable bail funds, would be subject to federal insurance fraud crimes, state licensing requirements and regulation by state insurance commissions.
