This legislative proposal aims to restrict the use of federal funds by prohibiting their provision to organizations that promote jury nullification . Specifically, it targets entities that conduct training, produce materials, or engage in outreach to encourage individuals to seek jury service in federal or District of Columbia courts with the intent to vote contrary to the evidence or applicable law. The bill explicitly defines such prohibited activities to include promoting the deliberate act of voting to acquit a defendant, even if the elements of the charged offense have been established. This measure seeks to prevent federal financial assistance from supporting groups that advocate for jurors to disregard legal instructions or factual findings in court proceedings.
