What does the Keeping Violent Offenders Off Our Streets Act of 2025 do?
HR 6260 is a House bill sponsored by Rep. Scott Fitzgerald (R-WI). This bill inserts bail-posting activity — the posting of monetary bail, criminal bail bonds, and federal immigration bail bonds — into the federal definition of the "business of insurance" under 18 U.S.C. 1033(f)(1)(A). Persons and entities that fall within that definition are subject to 18 U.S.C. 1033's federal criminal fraud, false-statement, and embezzlement provisions, so bail-posting entities and their officers, directors, agents, and employees become subject to those provisions.
