This bill aims to prevent the use of federal funds to compensate individuals involved in the January 6, 2021, attack on the United States Capitol. It explicitly prohibits the use of any federal funds, including the Judgment Fund or any victim compensation funds, to compensate individuals who were prosecuted for their involvement, even if they were subsequently pardoned. The legislation further forbids the establishment of any new compensation fund specifically for these individuals. Additionally, it ensures that no funds from the U.S. Treasury will be used to refund court-ordered payments, such as restitution, fines, or special assessments , made by individuals convicted for their role in the attack, including those who received a pardon. Any amounts that might otherwise be refunded would instead be transferred to the Architect of the Capitol.
