Keeping Violent Offenders Off Our Streets Act of 2025

Provisional: our plain-language summary, pending review.

In plain language: This bill places the bail bond industry—including monetary bail, criminal bonds, and federal immigration bonds—under federal insurance fraud laws. Bond agents, brokers, and companies that embezzle money, file false reports, or deceive clients and courts when posting bail can now face federal felony charges, fines, and prison sentences. It also prevents individuals convicted of certain felonies involving dishonesty from working in the bail bond business without official permission.
