Key Points

  • This bill prevents the federal government from using taxpayer money to pay or compensate anyone prosecuted for the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. This includes payments from the government's general legal fund or any funds set up for victims.
  • These restrictions would apply even if the person was later pardoned for their actions. The goal is to ensure that individuals involved in the attack do not receive financial rewards or settlements from the government, regardless of their legal status.
  • Any court-ordered fines or restitution paid by these individuals would not be refunded by the Treasury. Instead, that money would be transferred to the Architect of the Capitol to help with the upkeep and repair of the Capitol building and its grounds.
  • The bill also bans the government from creating any new programs or funds specifically designed to provide financial support to those who were prosecuted for their roles in the Capitol attack.
