Requires local prosecutors receiving federal grants to report data on violence against women cases.
This bill would make local prosecutors who get federal money to fight violence against women report detailed information about these cases. They would have to share data on how many cases are referred, declined, prosecuted, and what happens with bail and sentencing. If they don't report or decline too many cases, they could lose some of their federal funding.
Today, federal law does not require local prosecuting offices that receive federal grants to report detailed data on how they handle cases of violence against women. If this bill passes, these offices would have to submit annual reports to the Attorney General covering case referrals, prosecutions, bail, plea agreements, and sentencing outcomes for 19 specific types of offenses. Non-compliant offices could lose 25% to 50% of their federal grant money.
