In the other chamber's committee

Passed one chamber and has been handed to a committee in the other.

The committee decides whether it goes any further, and most bills that reach a committee never leave it. A committee that simply does nothing kills a bill without anyone ever voting against it, so no news from here is usually the news.

What this bill would do

The Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act of 2025 aims to temporarily provide additional deposits into the Crime Victims Fund.

The bill also mandates an Inspector General audit of the Crime Victims Fund. This audit must be submitted to several congressional committees by September 30, 2028.
