S 4514 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act of 2024

This bill amends the Victims of Crime Act to add two new sources of funding for the Crime Victims Fund: (1) money from declined criminal prosecutions (not resulting in conviction), and (2) certain False Claims Act recoveries from 2024 through 2029. It specifically excludes payments to lawsuit whistleblowers (qui tam plaintiffs) and government reimbursements for damages under the False Claims Act from being deposited into the fund. The changes directly affect the Crime Victims Fund, which provides critical support for victim services like counseling and legal aid. These adjustments aim to increase the fund's resources by adding these specific revenue streams while maintaining existing exclusions for certain False Claims Act payments.
