This bill proposes to amend chapter 171 of title 28, United States Code, which governs the Federal Tort Claims Act. Its primary objective is to prevent the President from seeking relief under the provisions of this chapter. Specifically, the legislation introduces a new exception to 28 U.S.C. § 2680, precluding any claim brought by a sitting President or an individual who subsequently becomes President while a claim is pending. This exclusion applies irrespective of when the act or omission giving rise to the claim occurred. Furthermore, the amendment is designed to apply to any such claim that is either pending on or brought after the date of the bill's enactment.
