Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
The Stop Computer Crimes Proliferation Act of 2023 reauthorizes a federal grant program that helps states train law enforcement and prosecutors to investigate and prosecute computer crimes. The bill extends funding for this program through fiscal year 2027, replacing the previous authorization period that ended in 2013. The legislation affects state and local law enforcement agencies and prosecutors who receive these grants to build their cybercrime capabilities. Additionally, the bill requires the Attorney General to report annually to Congress on how the grant program is performing, including how many organizations receive funding, how they use the money, and how many applicants are turned down. No specific dollar amounts for the grants are mentioned in the legislation.
