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.
