H. Res. 1275 (GovInfo)
secondary · model gpt-5.4-mini · confidence 90%

Congress.gov states enacted bills and joint resolutions appear on the public-laws list after NARA assigns public law numbers. The 119th Congress list does not include H.R.5625 or the Cashless Bail Reporting Act.

A current official public-laws check shows no enactment for H.R.5625/Cashless Bail Reporting Act, so the Attorney General publication requirement has not become binding law.

The GovInfo bill text shows H.R.5625 was received in the Senate on May 18, 2026 after passing the House on May 14, 2026. It would direct the Attorney General to make public a list of jurisdictions permitting release without cash bail for covered offenses.

The House-passed bill directly matches the campaign commitment, but the official text shows it was only referred in the Senate, not enacted or implemented.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Harris sponsored and materially advanced H.R. 5625, the Cashless Bail Reporting Act, which directly matches the promise by requiring the Attorney General to publish a public list of jurisdictions allowing release without cash bail for covered serious offenses. The bill advanced during his current House term and, according to the evidence, passed the House on May 14, 2026 and was received/referred in the Senate on May 18, 2026. However, it has not been enacted as public law and the Attorney General publication requirement has not become binding or been implemented. That is substantial same-term progress but not full delivery.

Harris clearly took substantial action on this promise in his federal office: he sponsored H.R. 5625, advanced it through committee, brought it to the House floor, and the House passed it in May 2026. The bill text directly matches the promise by requiring the Attorney General to publicly list jurisdictions that allow release without cash bail for covered serious offenses. However, the evidence says the measure had not become law as of the record provided, so the promised outcome was not fully achieved. Because there was meaningful legislative progress and House passage during the same term, but no final enactment or implementation, the best judgment is partial rather than delivered.
