HIRRE Prosecutors Act of 2025

This bill would require the U.S. Attorney General to set up a grant program within one year to help state, territorial, local, and tribal prosecutor's offices hire, keep, and train prosecutors and support staff. Grants would be awarded competitively, and the Attorney General could give preference to hiring new staff, rehiring laid-off prosecutors, and applicants from tribal, remote, or rural areas. Federal funds could cover up to 75 percent of a project's cost, with a possible waiver of the local match, and could not replace existing state or local funding. The bill authorizes $10 million per year for fiscal years 2026 through 2030 and requires monitoring and evaluation of funded projects.
