What it does
The bill tells the Comptroller General to study attack victims. It asks if the law should pay people who were hurt. It asks if the law should pay people with mental health problems. The study must guess the cost and suggest new laws. The bill requires a count of all money taken from attack cases. It also counts money from sanctions breaks and big crime cases. The count covers December 2015 to now. It must include interest earned.
Who it affects
Attack victims and the public are affected. The bill does not cost people money. It gathers facts Congress and the public can use to decide if attack victims need more help.
One thing to notice
The bill studies whether current law leaves out attack victims who lived. It counts all money taken from attack and crime cases since 2015.
