Plain-English summary
Prosecutors Need to Prosecute Act
This bill requires certain state and local prosecutors to report data on criminal referrals and outcomes of cases involving murder or non-negligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny, motor vehicle theft, arson, or any offense involving the illegal use or possession of a firearm.
The reporting requirement applies to state and local prosecutors in a jurisdiction with 380,000 or more persons that receives funding under the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant program. The report must contain data on
- cases referred for prosecution,
- cases declined for prosecution,
- cases resulting in a plea agreement with the defendant,
- cases initiated against defendants with previous arrests or convictions, and
- defendants charged who were released or eligible for bail.
