What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Accountability for Lawless Violence In our Neighborhoods Act" or the "ALVIN Act," aims to stop federal money from going to the Manhattan District Attorney's Office. It specifically prohibits any federal funds from being awarded or made available to that office. Additionally, the bill calls for the rescission of all unobligated balances currently allocated to the office. It also directs the Attorney General to seek reimbursement for funds spent by the office after January 1, 2022.
