HR 5506 United States House · 119th Congress

Courtney Wild Reinforcing Crime Victims’ Rights Act

This bill strengthens rights for crime victims in federal cases by requiring the government to inform victims about their rights, including details about plea bargains, agreements, and legal assistance options. It creates a new process for victims to file complaints about rights violations with a Department of Justice Administrative Authority, which must issue decisions within 180 days. The bill also mandates trauma-informed training for DOJ staff, requires the DOJ to report on implementation, and allows victims to seek attorney's fees if they successfully assert their rights. These changes apply to all federal criminal cases where a victim has been directly harmed by an offense.
