Executive Summary

Protecting All Communities Equally Act of 2022 or the PACE Act of 2022

This bill establishes that a state court located in an area where monetary bail is prohibited has the authority to hold on bail a criminal defendant determined to be dangerous or a repeat offender. In addition, a state or political subdivision that prohibits monetary bail waives sovereign immunity in an action for damages as a result of a dangerous criminal being released without monetary bail.
