This legislative proposal seeks to amend Title 28 of the United States Code to prevent individuals convicted of specific felonies or misdemeanors from receiving monetary payouts from the U.S. government. These disallowed claims include those arising from the January 6, 2021, attack on the United States Capitol , actions intended to disrupt the certification of the 2020 presidential election results, or efforts to unlawfully influence the 2016 presidential election. The amendment applies to any such claim that is pending on, or brought on or after, January 20, 2025, ensuring a broad application for certain claims. A significant provision of the bill mandates the recoupment of disbursed funds , requiring individuals who received payments from the United States between January 20, 2025, and the bill's enactment date to return the full amount to the Treasury. To enforce this, state attorneys general are authorized to bring civil actions in federal court against individuals residing in their state or who committed the offense there. Courts would order the return of funds and require an additional payment of 25 percent of the amount to the State to cover law enforcement and justice administration costs.
