The HIRRE Prosecutors Act of 2024 directs the Attorney General to create a new federal grant program to help states, local governments, territories, and tribal nations hire, retain, and train prosecutors and their support staff. The program must be established within one year of the law's enactment and will award grants on a competitive basis, with preference given to applications that hire new prosecutors, rehire laid-off prosecutors, or serve tribal, remote, or rural areas. The federal government will cover up to 75 percent of project costs, though this requirement can be waived in cases of financial hardship, and recipients must provide matching funds or use assets from federal forfeiture programs. The legislation authorizes $10 million annually for fiscal years 2025 through 2029 to support these grants, and all funded projects must include monitoring and evaluation components to track results.
