Prosecutors Need to Prosecute Act of 2025

This bill requires prosecutors in larger communities (those with 360,000 or more people) that receive certain federal crime-fighting grants to report detailed information about how they handle serious criminal cases, including murder, rape, robbery, assault, burglary, theft, arson, and gun crimes. They would need to share data on things like how many cases they were asked to prosecute, how many they chose not to prosecute, and how many ended in plea deals. Prosecutors who follow these reporting rules would get priority for receiving federal grant money. The bill also says that states and local governments cannot receive this grant money if they have a policy that bans the use of cash bail for people charged with crimes involving illegal use or possession of a firearm.
