Key Points

  • Would block any federal money from being used to pay or compensate people prosecuted for the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack, even if later pardoned.
  • Would also ban creating any special compensation fund meant to pay people prosecuted for January 6-related involvement.
  • Would prohibit the Treasury from refunding money paid after convictions tied to January 6, such as restitution, fines, or court fees, even if later pardoned.
  • Any money that would have been refunded under this bill would instead be transferred to the Architect of the Capitol for Capitol-related use.
