As your constituent, I want to urge you to support H.R. 8061. This timely legislation from Representative Ann Wagner seeks to temporarily bolster the Crime Victims Fund through fiscal year 2029 by redirecting excess funds from the False Claims Act and other sources. The Crime Victims Fund provides vital support to survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, child abuse, and other crimes through the Victims of Crime Act grants. However, the Fund is facing devastating cuts that threaten to undermine essential victim services nationwide. H.R. 8061 presents a pragmatic solution to address these funding shortfalls without imposing new fees or taxes on the American people. By preserving the Fund's original intent of being financed through legal fees, this bill ensures victim assistance programs can maintain operations during this critical period. Approving this legislation is crucial to safeguarding the vital lifelines provided to crime victims across the country. The Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act merits swift passage to continue delivering justice and support to those who have already endured immense trauma. Thank you for choosing to protect and uplift survivors of abuse, violence, and other crimes. Please urge your colleagues to support this bill as well.
