Bill Summary
A BILL To amend title 18, United States Code, to prohibit fraud in connection with posting bail.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the Keeping Violent Offenders Off Our Streets Act, amends Section 1033(f)(1)(A) of Title 18 of the United States Code to expand the definition of fraudulent activities related to bail posting. Specifically, the bill adds language to clarify that fraud in connection with bail includes not just monetary bail, but also criminal bail bonds and federal immigration bail bonds. By explicitly listing these types of bail in the statute, the bill aims to provide clearer legal grounds for prosecuting individuals who commit fraud in the bail process, potentially making it easier for law enforcement and prosecutors to address deceptive practices that could allow potentially dangerous individuals to be released from custody through fraudulent means.
