Cashless Bail Reporting Act This bill requires the Department of Justice to publish annually a list of state and local governments that permit individuals who are charged with certain criminal offenses that pose a clear threat to public safety and order to be released pending trial on personal recognizance or upon execution of an unsecured appearance bond. Under the bill, the criminal offenses that pose a threat to public safety and order include criminal offenses involving a violent or sexual act (e.g., burglary, murder, or rape) and offenses that promote public disorder (e.g., looting or vandalism). On August 25, 2025, President Donald Trump issued an executive order that required the Department of Justice to submit to the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security a list of state and local jurisdictions that have substantially eliminated cash bail as a potential condition for pretrial release for crimes that pose a clear threat to public safety and order, including offenses involving violent, sexual, or indecent acts, or burglary, looting, or vandalism.

Lawsuit Abuse Reduction Act of 2025 This bill strengthens the sanctions provisions under Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Rule 11 establishes standards for pleadings, written motions, and other papers that are presented to a district court and establishes sanctions for an attorney, law firm, or party who does not comply with the standards. Under the Rule 11 standards, a pleading, written motion, or other paper must not be presented for an improper purpose and must make contentions that are reasonably supported by fact and law. Currently, the purpose of sanctions is to deter future violations of the Rule 11 standards. Rule 11 authorizes judges to impose sanctions on an attorney, law firm, or party who fails to comply with the standards; allows awards of compensation to an injured party only when necessary for effective deterrence; and requires a motion for sanctions to be served on a party 21 days before it is filed in court, creating a 21-day "safe harbor" within which a party may withdraw or correct a filing that allegedly violates Rule 11 standards. This bill amends Rule 11 to expressly state that the purpose of sanctions is to compensate the injured party as well as to deter future violations. The bill mandates sanctions for violations of the Rule 11 standards; requires sanctions to include compensation for the injured party for reasonable expenses incurred as a result of the violation, including attorneys' fees; and eliminates the 21-day safe harbor.

This bill lowers the age at which an individual may be tried as an adult for certain criminal offenses in the District of Columbia (DC) to 14 years of age. Under current DC law, an individual who is under 18 years of age is tried as a juvenile in family court. However, an individual who is 16 years of age or older may be tried as an adult if the individual is charged with murder, first-degree sexual abuse, burglary in the first degree, robbery while armed, or assault with intent to commit any such offense. Additionally, an individual who is 15 years of age or older may be tried as an adult if the individual is alleged to have committed a felony and it is determined that (1) it is in the interest of the public welfare to try the individual as an adult, and (2) there are no reasonable prospects for the individual's rehabilitation. The bill lowers the minimum age to be tried as an adult in these cases to 14 years of age.
