Bill Summary
A BILL To prohibit Federal funds from being awarded or otherwise made available to the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the WILLIS Act (Withholding Investments from Lawless Litigators In States Act), proposes to completely prohibit any federal funding to the Fulton County District Attorney's Office. Specifically, the bill would immediately stop any federal funds from being awarded to this office and require the Attorney General to take steps to rescind and recoup any unobligated federal funds previously allocated to the office, including funds spent after January 1, 2021. While the bill does not explicitly state the rationale, the title and government summary suggest it is a targeted action against the Fulton County District Attorney's Office, which is likely related to ongoing legal proceedings or perceived misconduct. The bill represents a significant and unusual legislative intervention that would effectively defund a specific local prosecutorial office by preventing it from receiving any federal financial support.
