## Summary

**Provides DOJ grants to help state, local, territorial, and tribal prosecutors hire and keep staff.** This bill would create a Department of Justice program to award competitive grants to prosecutor offices for hiring, retaining, and training prosecutors and support staff. - 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.*
