Assessments
The promise was to support legislation requiring the Attorney General to publicly list states and local governments that permit cashless bail. Evidence shows concrete legislative support for H.R. 5625, the Cashless Bail Reporting Act: it advanced from committee, was scheduled by the Rules Committee, and reached House floor debate and a passage vote stage. However, the record provided does not show final House passage, Senate passage, enactment, or the actual publication of the list. Because the policy goal has been actively advanced in the same term but not completed, the best judgment is unresolved rather than delivered. The available evidence supports a serious legislative effort, so an effort badge is warranted.
