Increased Funding and Support for Crime Victims

This law boosts funding for programs assisting crime victims by directing money from certain legal agreements into the fund. It also makes it easier for programs to receive federal support by allowing matching fund requirements to be waived, meaning more resources can go directly to helping those in need.

The federal share for crime victim compensation is increased to 75%.
