Plain-English Summary

The government would continue funding efforts to collect, preserve, and make public records related to unsolved civil rights murders and crimes from decades past, helping families, researchers, and the public understand historical injustices. This reauthorization extends a program that works to locate documents held by federal agencies about these cold cases and ensures they remain accessible for investigation and historical documentation. The measure affects civil rights advocates, descendants of victims, historians, and law enforcement agencies involved in reviewing these historical cases.
