SERVE Our Communities Act
Introduced Jan 3, 2025 by Rep. Claudia Tenney
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
This bill authorizes the Bureau of Justice Assistance to make grants to states and local governments for mentoring, transitional services, and training to help offenders successfully reintegrate back into the community after incarceration. To be eligible for a grant, a state or local government must take steps to prevent repeat offenses by violent offenders and allow a state court or magistrate to consider the danger an individual poses to the community when determining bail or pretrial release conditions.
Summary by the Congressional Research Service.
No floor votes yet — it hasn't reached the floor of either chamber.
