Keep Violent Criminals Off Our Streets Act: Cash Bail and Federal Grants.

This act aims to link federal grants for states and local governments to their cash bail policies. If a state or local government limits the use of cash bail for individuals charged with serious offenses, it may lose access to important public safety funds. This means local authorities will need to consider whether to maintain flexibility on bail or risk losing federal financial support.
Key points
States and local governments that limit cash bail for public safety offenses will lose federal grants.
The grants in question are Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grants, intended to support justice-related activities.
Serious offenses include murder, rape, robbery, burglary, as well as rioting and vandalism.
