This legislative proposal aims to repeal two significant District of Columbia laws: the Incarceration Reduction Amendment Act and the Second Look Amendment Act . These acts generally allow for the reduction or reconsideration of sentences for certain offenders, and their repeal would eliminate these provisions. In place of the repealed provisions, the bill establishes a new framework for supporting victims of violent crime. It mandates the Office of Victim Services and Justice Grants to annually issue grants, up to $200,000 each, to eligible organizations. These grants are specifically intended to fund services such as advocacy, mental health support, and employment assistance for survivors of violent crimes in the District.
