NDAA 2026 Prosecutor Advocacy Conference
119th Congress, Second Session
February 3-4, 2026
Washington, DC
Registration for the 2026 NDAA Prosecutor Advocacy Conference is now open!
NDAA will build on a successful 2025 conference by setting NDAA’s legislative priorities by Congress (two sessions) as opposed to an annual basis. This consistency combined with timely updates to our priorities allows NDAA’s advocacy efforts to build a strong, recognizable brand for each Congress. Here are the strides made to date in the 119th Congress to build upon in the Second Session:
Prosecutor Hiring & Retention
- Led efforts to inform NDAA members on the Public Service Loan Forgiveness re-organization by the U.S. Department of Education. NDAA was selected as an alternate for the Department’s Rulemaking Committee and a local rep from the 15th Circuit Solicitor’s Office (SC) was selected as a negotiator. NDAA worked closely to ensure protections for borrowers and preserve eligibility of local prosecutor offices as a “qualifying employer”.
- NDAA also spear-headed a PSLF support letter with over 1,000 prosecutors, and collaborated with fellow PSLF advocates through coalition work and congressional engagement, such as a letter to the House Committee on Education.
Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) Funding
- The Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act (CVFSA) was introduced in both chambers (H.R.909/S.1892). The House version currently has 218 co-sponsors while the Senate version has 12 co-sponsors. NDAA continues to secure additional cosponsors working with local prosecutors.
- In May NDAA garnered from prosecutors across the country in support of the CVFSA and stable VOCA funding, with over 1,000 signatories on a letter in support of the CVFSA.
Combating the Opioid Crisis & Other Illicit Drugs
- The HALT Fentanyl Act passed both chambers of Congress and awaits the President’s signature to be signed into law. The law permanently assigns fentanyl and analogues as Schedule I drugs, while still allowing for appropriate medical research to continue. NDAA provided several letters of support throughout the HALT Act becoming law.
Curbing Retail Crime
- The Combatting Organized Retail Crime Theft Act was introduced in both chambers (H.R.2853/S.1404). The House version currently has 110 co-sponsors, while the Senate version has 27 co-sponsors. NDAA has voiced its strong support of the bill and continues to secure additional cosponsors working with local prosecutors.
- On July 15, 2025 NDAA President Summer Stephan testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee on organized retail crime during the hearing Beyond the Smash and Grab: Criminal Networks and Organized Theft
Bolstering Online Child Safety
- The TAKE IT DOWN Act became law (Pub. L. No.119-12) in May 2025. The law criminalizes the non-consensual sharing of real or AI-generated intimate images (all CSAM is non-consensual), mandates the removal of the imagery by online platforms within 48 hours, and strengthens protections against digital sexual exploitation and sextortion. NDAA signed on to a letter in support of the TAKE IT DOWN Act addressed to House Leadership
- The Children and Teens’ Online Privacy Protection Act recently passed the Senate Commerce Committee unanimously. The bill has 19 co-sponsors in the Senate.
