Purpose and Summary

Accountability for Lawless Violence In our Neighborhoods Act or the ALVIN Act

This bill prohibits federal funds from being awarded or otherwise made available to the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office in New York. 

The bill also (1) rescinds any unobligated funds that were allocated for or otherwise made available to the office, and (2) directs the Department of Justice to require the office to reimburse the federal government for all funds that were expended for the office after January 1, 2022.

Bill 119 HR 63, also known as the "Prohibition of Federal Funds to Manhattan District Attorney's Office Act," aims to prevent the Manhattan District Attorney's Office from receiving any Federal funds. The bill states that these funds should not be awarded or made available to the Manhattan District Attorney's Office for any purpose.

The reasoning behind this bill is not explicitly stated, but it appears to be a response to some perceived issue or concern with the Manhattan District Attorney's Office. The bill does not specify any particular wrongdoing or reason for withholding Federal funds from this specific office.

If passed, this bill would have significant implications for the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, as they would no longer have access to Federal funds to support their operations. It is unclear how this would impact the office's ability to carry out its duties and responsibilities. Overall, Bill 119 HR 63 is a straightforward piece of legislation that seeks to restrict Federal funding to the Manhattan District Attorney's Office. The implications of this bill are not fully clear, but it raises questions about the relationship between Federal funding and the operations of local law enforcement agencies.
