Urging Congress to enact legislation alleviating the funding crisis in the Crime Victims Fund.

Maddy summarySJM 2 is a joint memorial from the Oregon Legislative Assembly urging the U.S. Congress to enact legislation that addresses a funding crisis in the federal Crime Victims Fund (CVF). The CVF, which supports state victim assistance programs such as domestic violence agencies and rape crisis centers, has seen a significant decline in its balance. This memorial specifically calls for Congress to pass the "Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act of 2024" or similar legislation, which would redirect funds from the False Claims Act into the CVF to stabilize its finances and ensure continued support for these vital services.

Recognizing and honoring former Oregon State Representative Roger Martin for his service to this state.

It does not create new laws or affect any policies; it is solely a symbolic tribute to his legacy.
