Bill overview
The Fairness for Crime Victims Act of 2023 aims to ensure that funds collected by the Crime Victims Fund are consistently used to support victims of crime. It establishes a mechanism for Congress to prevent changes to mandatory programs that could reduce the amount available from the fund below a three-year average. This legislation creates ‘points of order’ in both the House and Senate to block appropriations bills that would negatively impact the Crime Victims Fund, with a limited exception for differences of up to $2 billion. The bill seeks to restore fairness to crime victims by prioritizing the use of these funds for services and compensation.
