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 also mandates that the state collaborate with the federal government to secure funding for these reforms, addressing the critical need for sustained and equitable financial assistance for crime victims in the state.

The bill does not specify any deletions from current law but focuses on the insertion of new legal language that emphasizes the importance of collaboration with federal authorities to enhance funding mechanisms for crime victims. This legislative effort reflects a commitment to improving the support system for individuals affected by crime, ensuring that they have access to the resources they need for recovery and justice.
