The bill would also require recipients of VICTIM Act grants to report how they use the funds to the DOJ, which would collect and provide that information to Congress.
I will support legislation requiring recipients of VICTIM Act grants to report how they use the funds to the DOJ, with DOJ then reporting that information to Congress.
Occurrences
Evidence
The passed-House text required each grant recipient to report annually to the Attorney General on grant-funded activities, and required the Attorney General to report the evaluation results and recipient-reported information to Congress.
Congress.gov lists H.R.5768 as sponsored by Rep. Val Demings, passed by the House on September 22, 2022, and received in the Senate on September 27, 2022; its tracker status is Passed House, not Became Law.
Congress.gov identifies Gabe Evans as serving in the House for Colorado District 8 in the 119th Congress, 2025-present, and lists his sponsored legislation, cosponsored legislation, remarks, and roll-call activity.
Assessments
The promised outcome was to support legislation adding VICTIM Act grant-recipient reporting to DOJ and DOJ reporting to Congress. The matching VICTIM Act language existed in H.R.5768 in the 117th Congress, before Evans entered Congress, and that bill passed the House but did not become law. The evidence provided does not show Evans sponsoring, cosponsoring, voting for, or otherwise materially advancing a current federal bill with that reporting requirement during his 119th Congress term. Because the reporting requirement has not been enacted and no serious Evans-led legislative effort is shown, this is not delivered and does not merit an effort badge.
