More funds for crime victims: stabilizing the Victims Fund.
This act aims to increase resources for crime victims by directing funds from non-conviction settlements and, temporarily, from certain false claims cases into the Crime Victims Fund. This will make the Fund more stable, potentially leading to better support for those harmed by crime. Citizens who are victims of crime may find more assistance available.
Key points
The Crime Victims Fund will receive more money from settlements that do not result in a conviction.
Temporarily, until 2030, some funds from false claims cases (known as the 'False Claims Act') will also go into the Fund.
Greater Fund stability means potentially better and more accessible support for crime victims in their daily lives.
