Justice for the Living Victims of Lockerbie Act This bill establishes a mechanism for compensating certain victims of the bombing of Pan American Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, on December 21, 1988.

The Foreign Claims Settlement Commission must establish a process for claimants to apply for compensation from the fund.
