What this bill would do
This bill directs the Attorney General to create a grant program to help states, territories, local governments, and tribal governments hire prosecutors. The program is designed to fund the hiring, retaining, and training of prosecutors or their support staff. The Attorney General may award these grants on a competitive basis. Certain applications, such as those for hiring new staff or rehiring those laid off due to budget cuts, may receive preferential consideration. Additionally, jurisdictions in tribal, remote, or rural areas may be prioritized. The bill authorizes up to $10,000,000 per year from fiscal years 2026 through 2030.
