VICTIM Act of 2026

The federal government would create a new grant program that gives money to law enforcement agencies to help them solve violent crimes more quickly and effectively by using new investigative techniques and technology. Police departments could use these grants to purchase equipment, train officers, and implement methods designed to clear cases involving violent incidents. The program would be overseen by the Attorney General and would help local and state law enforcement improve their ability to investigate and solve serious crimes.

Currently, this tax credit is available for historic buildings and some commercial properties, but public schools are excluded. This change would help school districts stretch their budgets further when investing in building improvements.
