Bill overview
The Homicide Victims’ Families’ Rights Act of 2021 allows immediate family members of victims of federal murder cases, specifically those that are at least three years old and have exhausted all investigative leads, to request a review of the case file. If the review determines a full reinvestigation is warranted, federal agencies must conduct one, ensuring it’s handled by personnel who didn’t initially investigate and adhering to modern investigative standards. The Act also establishes a process for tracking these reviews and provides for annual reporting on their outcomes.
