Show full summary
- Prosecutor offices: Could receive competitive grants to hire, retain, and train prosecutors and support staff. Grants can cover up to 75% of project costs and the 25% match can be waived for equitable financial circumstances.
- Laid-off and rural or tribal jurisdictions: The Attorney General may give preference to applications that hire new prosecutors, rehire prosecutors laid off due to budget cuts, or come from tribal, remote, or rural areas.
- Tribal matching and funding rules: Funds may not supplant state or local funds or, for tribal governments, funds awarded by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Tribal recipients may use assets from the asset forfeiture equitable sharing program or tribal/BIA appropriations to meet the nonfederal share.
- Oversight and administration: Each grant project must include monitoring data and is subject to DOJ evaluation. The Attorney General may revoke or suspend funding for substantial noncompliance and may use any DOJ component to carry out the program.
*Authorizes $10.0 million per year for fiscal years 2026 through 2030 for the program.*

Grants to Hire Local Prosecutors
This bill would require the Attorney General to set up a DOJ grant program within one year. The program would provide $10 million each year for fiscal years 2026 through 2030. States, territories, local prosecutor offices, and Indian tribal governments would be able to apply for competitive grants to hire, retain, or train prosecutors and prosecutor support staff. Federal funds could cover up to 75% of a project's cost; recipients would normally provide a 25% non‑Federal match unless the Attorney General waives it. Grants could not replace existing State, local, or Bureau of Indian Affairs funds and would require monitoring, evaluation, and compliance rules; the Attorney General could revoke funding for noncompliance and issue regulations to run the program.
