Urging Congress to enact legislation alleviating the funding crisis in the Crime Victims Fund.
SJM 2 is a joint memorial from the Oregon Legislative Assembly urging the U.S. Congress to enact legislation that addresses a funding crisis in the federal Crime Victims Fund (CVF). The CVF, which supports state victim assistance programs such as domestic violence agencies and rape crisis centers, has seen a significant decline in its balance. This memorial specifically calls for Congress to pass the "Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act of 2024" or similar legislation, which would redirect funds from the False Claims Act into the CVF to stabilize its finances and ensure continued support for these vital services.

MINOR
The bill moved from its introduced draft to its enrolled, final version with formatting changes and updated sponsor lists. The substantive policy content remains unchanged, as this is a procedural document urging Congress to pass the Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act of 2024 rather than a law with enforceable provisions.
TECHNICAL
Sponsor list was updated to reflect new co-sponsors (Senators Thatcher, Representatives Chaiichi, Chotzen, Kropf, and Reschke) who joined after the bill was introduced.
Removed the summary section and line numbers that were present in the introduced version, as these are editorial elements not part of the final enrolled text.
Added signatures and adoption dates from both the Senate (March 4, 2025) and House (May 5, 2025) chambers, indicating the bill has been fully approved and enrolled for transmission to Congress.
