## Summary

**Expands local cybercrime grants to cover identity theft.** The bill would add a definition of identity theft and explicitly include identity theft in the Violence Against Women Act local law enforcement grant program for cybercrimes against individuals. - Victims and families: Victims of identity theft may see more local resources for investigations and victim services because identity theft cases would qualify for existing grant support. - State, tribal, and local law enforcement: Agencies could use the same grant program to investigate and prosecute identity theft, broadening the program's focus without adding new funding. - Program clarity: The bill defines identity theft as knowingly using another person's means of identification without lawful authority, which clarifies which offenses the grants can cover.
