To provide for a limitation on availability of funds for District of Columbia, Federal Payment for Defender Services in DC Courts for fiscal year 2024.

HR 2096 sets a strict spending limit of $46,005,000 for federal funding supporting public defenders in Washington D.C. courts during fiscal year 2024. This bill directly affects the District of Columbia's Federal Payment for Defender Services program by restricting the available funds to this specific amount. The key provision is a hard cap on the annual appropriation, preventing any higher federal payments for these legal services in D.C. courts for that fiscal year.
