The HIRRE Prosecutors Act directs the Attorney General to establish a competitive grant program to help state, local, tribal, and territorial governments hire, retain, and train prosecutors and their support staff. The program prioritizes applications from jurisdictions seeking to hire new prosecutors, rehire laid-off prosecutors, or serve rural, remote, or tribal areas. Federal grants can cover up to 75 percent of project costs, though the Attorney General may waive the 25 percent local matching requirement in cases of financial hardship, and recipients can use asset forfeiture funds or tribal government appropriations to meet their share. The Attorney General must establish the program within one year of enactment and is authorized to appropriate $10 million annually for fiscal years 2026 through 2030, with oversight requiring participating projects to track outcomes and submit to periodic evaluation and monitoring to ensure compliance.
