Prosecutors Need to Prosecute Act

This bill requires large district attorney offices (serving jurisdictions of 380,000+ people) that receive federal Byrne grant funds to submit annual reports to the Attorney General. The reports must detail prosecution decisions for 10 specific violent crimes and gun offenses (including murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, and firearm violations), such as cases declined, plea agreements, and defendant histories. The Attorney General must establish uniform reporting standards and share all collected data publicly with Congress and on a government website. This policy change directly affects major prosecutors' offices receiving federal crime-fighting funds, aiming to increase transparency in how they handle serious offenses.
