What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill creates a rule in Congress that would make it harder for lawmakers to pass spending bills that reduce the money available from the Crime Victims Fund below a certain level. Specifically, the amount available from the fund in a given year could not be less than the average amount available over the previous three years. However, this rule would not apply if the difference between the fund's balance and the amount being made available is $2 billion or less.
