Bill Summary
A bill to limit donations made pursuant to settlement agreements to which the United States is a party, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, the Stop Settlement Slush Funds Act of 2023, seeks to limit the ability of government officials to direct payments from settlement agreements to entities other than the United States, except for payments that provide restitution or remedies for actual harm caused by the party making the payment, or payments for services rendered in the case. The bill imposes penalties on officials who violate this restriction, and requires federal agencies to report annually on settlement agreements that involve payments to non-governmental entities. It also requires the Inspector General of each agency to audit settlement agreements for compliance with the new restrictions and report annually to Congress.
