Bill > HR63

This bill, known as the "Accountability for Lawless Violence In our Neighborhoods Act" or the "ALVIN Act," aims to prohibit the Manhattan District Attorney's Office from receiving any federal funds. Specifically, the bill would stop all current and future federal funding to this local prosecutorial office, and additionally require the Manhattan District Attorney's Office to reimburse the federal government for any funds received after January 1, 2022. The bill appears to be a targeted legislative action that would completely cut off federal financial support for the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, effectively penalizing the office through a comprehensive funding ban. While the bill does not provide explicit reasoning for this funding prohibition, its short title suggests potential criticism of the district attorney's approach to prosecuting criminal violence, though the specific motivations are not detailed in the legislative text.
