Bill overview
This bill, the Holding Prosecutors Accountable Act, aims to increase transparency and accountability in the criminal justice system by requiring prosecutors’ offices serving large jurisdictions to submit annual reports to the Attorney General. These reports will detail case referral numbers, declinations to prosecute, plea agreements, and data on defendants, specifically focusing on serious offenses like murder, rape, and robbery. Failure to submit reports or a high rate of case declinations could result in a state losing eligibility for Byrne grants.
