Pretrial Services Act of 1980

Summary

Pretrial Services Act of 1980 - Requires the Director of the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts to establish in each judicial district, directly or by contract, a pretrial services agency. (Current law authorizes such agencies on a demonstration basis in ten representative districts.) Places such agencies under the general authority of a separate entity within the Administrative Office. (Current law places five agencies under the Office's Division of Probation and five under an independent Board of Trustees). Carries forward current provisions relating to the confidentiality of information contained in agencies' files. Continues generally the existing functions and powers of the pretrial service agencies, but eliminates the discretion of the district courts to determine which shall be performed, and adds three new duties: (1) to develop a system to monitor and evaluate bail activities; (2) to prepare pursuant to agreements reports for the U.S. Attorneys Offices on information pertaining to pretrial diversion; and (3) to make contracts to carry out their functions. Requires the Director to include in the annual report to the Judicial Conference a report on the operation of each agency and to transmit a copy of such report to Congress.
