No Rewards for January 6 Rioters Act

This legislation, titled the "No Rewards for January 6 Rioters Act," aims to prevent the use of federal funds to compensate individuals involved in the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. It explicitly prohibits the use of any federal funds, including the Judgment Fund or any victim compensation fund , to provide compensation to individuals who were prosecuted for their involvement, even if they were later pardoned. Furthermore, the bill forbids the establishment of any new compensation fund specifically for these individuals. The Act also stipulates that no funds from the United States Treasury shall be disbursed to refund any court-ordered compensation , such as restitution, fines, or special assessments, paid by individuals convicted for their role in the attack, regardless of a subsequent pardon. Any amounts that would otherwise be refunded are instead directed to be transferred to the Architect of the Capitol .
