Making consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, and for other purposes, Sec. 5

The appropriation for the Office on Violence Against Women, which makes grants for the prevention and prosecution of violence against women under a long list of named statutes. Of the total, $257,000,000 is for grants to combat violence against women under part T of the 1968 Act. The $100,000,000 transferred in comes from the Crime Victims Fund established by section 1402 of chapter XIV of title II of Public Law 98-473.

That sentence, in plain words

This gives $720,000,000 for work against violence toward women. The money has no end date. Of that, $100,000,000 is moved in from another fund.

What this is about

The money goes out as grants. Police, courts and shelters can apply. A list inside the law says how much each kind of grant gets.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
