HR 5413 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
To deny pretrial release for certain individuals, and for other purposes.
Summary
The bill amends federal law to establish new criteria for denying pretrial release to defendants. A defendant would be considered a danger to the community and ineligible for bail if they are charged with a felony and have a prior felony conviction for a crime of violence that resulted in at least 30 days of incarceration. The prior conviction must be from a state or federal correctional facility and does not include time spent in pretrial detention.
