H.R. 2694: Criminal Judicial Administration Act of 2021
Legislation Details
117th Congress
To amend title 18, United States Code, to provide for transportation and subsistence for criminal justice defendants, and for other purposes.
Sponsor: Rep. Hakeem Jeffries — D — NY
Under current law, the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) covers transportation, meal, and incidental costs incurred by defendants as they travel to court appearances, if a federal judge determines they are indigent. H.R. 2694 would authorize the agency to reimburse defendants for those expenses incurred during court appearances and during return trips to their residence or place of arrest.
