Prosecutors Need to Prosecute Act of 2025

What this bill does

The bill requires large-jurisdiction prosecutors to report data on criminal cases involving violent crimes and firearms offenses.
State and local prosecutors in jurisdictions with 360,000+ residents that receive federal Justice Assistance Grant funding must comply.
Complying prosecutors receive priority for federal funding; jurisdictions with no-cash-bail policies for firearm cases lose grant eligibility.
