The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 459, aims to restore and enhance funding for the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) in Connecticut. It seeks to implement reforms outlined in the federal VOCA Fix to Sustain the Crime Victims Fund Act, which is designed to ensure that victims of crime receive the necessary support and resources. The bill emphasizes the importance of sustained and equitable funding for these victims, addressing a critical need within the state.

To achieve these goals, the bill mandates that the state collaborate with the federal government to secure funding for the proposed reforms. This collaboration is intended to strengthen the financial support available to crime victims, ensuring that they have access to the services and assistance they require. The bill does not specify any deletions from current law but focuses on the necessary insertions to enhance the existing framework for victim support.
