Bill > S4514

This bill, the Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act of 2024, aims to clarify that amounts from declinations (when a criminal prosecution is declined) should be deposited into the Crime Victims Fund. It also temporarily allows for additional deposits into the Fund from certain cases brought under the False Claims Act, with the exception of amounts needed to pay qui tam plaintiffs (individuals who bring lawsuits on behalf of the government) and to reimburse the government for damages. The goal is to stabilize the funding for the Crime Victims Fund, which provides financial support and assistance to victims of crime.
