Bill overview
The Fairness for Crime Victims Act of 2025 aims to ensure that funds collected by the Crime Victims Fund are consistently used to support victims of crime as intended by law. It establishes a mechanism for Congress to prevent changes to mandatory programs that could reduce the amount available to victims from the fund. Specifically, it creates a ‘point of order’ in both the Senate and the House of Representatives to block appropriations legislation that would decrease the Crime Victims Fund’s available resources below a three-year average. This aims to address a history of under-disbursement of funds to victims of crime, particularly those affected by child abuse, sexual assault, and domestic violence.
