GovInfo bill text shows H.R. 8821 was introduced by Ms. Mace on May 14, 2026 and referred to the House Judiciary and Oversight and Government Reform committees. The bill states: "No Federal funds may be made available to a jurisdiction" substantially eliminating cash bail for covered offenses.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Nancy Mace took concrete legislative action matching the commitment by introducing H.R. 8821, but the official record shows only introduction and committee referral, not enactment or actual funding cuts.

Executive Order 14342 says federal policies and resources should not support cashless bail jurisdictions, directs the Attorney General to list jurisdictions substantially eliminating cash bail for serious public-safety offenses, and directs agencies to identify federal funds that may be suspended or terminated.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The executive order creates an administrative process aimed at the same policy goal, but it does not itself prove that funds were actually cut; it supports partial progress rather than full delivery by Mace's legislation.

Mace introduced H.R. 8821 in the 119th Congress to bar federal funds to jurisdictions that substantially eliminate cash bail for covered serious offenses, which is a direct and serious legislative attempt. But the bill remained at introduction/referral with no evidence of passage, enactment, or actual federal funding cuts attributable to her. Executive Order 14342 pursued a similar administrative policy by directing identification of affected jurisdictions and funds that may be suspended or terminated, but it was an executive action by another official and does not establish that funding was actually cut or that Mace delivered the outcome. The promised result was therefore not fulfilled, though she merits an effort badge for the introduced bill.
