AI Summary

This bill appropriates funds to the Oregon Department of Justice to address reductions in federal Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) grants. Specifically, the bill allocates $18,500,000 from the General Fund for the 2025-2027 biennium to backfill reductions in VOCA grants, and an additional $3,000,000 to the Oregon CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) Network for providing services to crime victims. VOCA grants are federal funds typically used to support victims of crime through various support services. The bill includes an emergency clause, which means it will take effect immediately upon passage, highlighting the urgent need to maintain victim support services in the face of federal grant reductions. The emergency declaration suggests that without these additional state funds, critical victim support services could be significantly disrupted.
