Minnesota Senate approves bill restricting bail charities like Minnesota Freedom Fund
By FOX 9 Staff
ST. PAUL, Minn. (FOX 9) - Lawmakers in Minnesota Senate have approved a bill that would restrict which suspects that bail charities, like the Minnesota Freedom Fund, can bail out.
The legislation was approved Friday on a 36-30 vote in the Republican-led chamber. If approved by the Democrat-led House of Representatives and signed by Governor Walz, the legislation would prevent bail charities from using funds to bail out suspects in violent crimes or registered sex offenders. The legislation would also have to publicly disclose to authorities which suspects they ve bailed out.
