Very unlikely to pass

This bill was introduced by a few members of one party and has not seen any movement in committee or support from the other side.

This bill targets nonprofit groups that rely heavily on the Department of Justice for their funding. It would prevent these groups from getting new grants if they pay their top staff more than the Attorney General makes.
A group is affected if more than half of its money comes from Department of Justice grants. If they pay even one person more than the top lawyer in the country, they lose their eligibility for more federal money.
Organizations would have to certify that they meet these pay and funding rules every time they apply for a grant. This is intended to make sure taxpayer dollars are spent on programs rather than high executive salaries.
