What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act of 2025," aims to clarify how certain funds are deposited into the Crime Victims Fund. It specifically seeks to include amounts from the declination of a criminal prosecution or similar final dispositions that do not involve a conviction. Additionally, the bill provides for temporary deposits from specific sections of the False Claims Act through September 30, 2030. Certain amounts, such as those used to pay qui tam plaintiffs or reimburse the government for specific damages, are excluded from these deposits.
Who it would affect, and how
Potential Positive Impacts for People
-
Increased deposits into the Crime Victims Fund: The bill amends the Victims of Crime Act of 1984 to include amounts from a declination of a criminal prosecution or other similar final disposition not involving a conviction (Section 2). This could provide more resources for the fund.
-
Temporary additional deposits through 2030: The bill allows for deposits from sections 3729 through 3731 of title 31 of the United States Code into the fund (Section 2). This is intended to provide additional deposits to the fund through September 30, 2030.
Potential Negative Impacts for People
-
Exclusion of certain funds from the Crime Victims Fund: While the bill aims to increase deposits, it explicitly states that amounts needed to remunerate qui tam plaintiffs under section 3730(d) of title 31 are not available for deposit to the Fund (Section 2).
-
Exclusion of government damage reimbursements: The bill also specifies that amounts used to reimburse the United States Government for damages sustained from acts described in section 3729(a) of title 31 are not available for deposit to the Fund (Section 2).
