H.R. 5214, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CASH BAIL REFORM ACT OF 2025

The following information was released by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO):

H.R. 5214 would amend the Code of the District of Columbia to require mandatory pretrial detention for defendants charged with certain violent crimes and require mandatory cash bail or bail bonds for all defendants charged with other specified crimes. Because the bill would affect only the District of Columbia, CBO estimates that enacting the bill would have no cost to the federal government.
