House Passes New Legislation: The House of Representatives approved the Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act, legislation sponsored by Congressman Derek Schmidt (KS-02) aimed at enhancing support for victims of violent crime.

Details of the Act: Schmidt emphasized that the Act would restore funding to vital victim assistance programs, which have faced significant revenue drops. He stated, "Redirecting money from those who attempted to misuse funds... is a practical and responsible way to address the CVF's current funding gap."
Background on the Crime Victims Fund: Established in 1984, the Crime Victims Fund supports programs serving approximately 3.7 million victims annually, funded through fines and penalties rather than taxpayer dollars. The fund has seen an 83% decline since 2017, leading many programs to significantly scale back services.
