Bill > S3581

This bill, titled the "No Settlements for January 6 Law Enforcement Assaulters Act," aims to prevent individuals convicted of assaulting law enforcement officers during the January 6, 2021 Capitol breach from receiving certain legal settlements paid with federal funds. Specifically, it defines a "covered individual" as someone convicted of assaulting a law enforcement officer in connection with the events at or near the Capitol on that date, including violations of federal law (like assaulting an officer under section 111 of title 18, United States Code) or District of Columbia law. The bill then prohibits the use of any federal money, including funds from the "Judgment Fund" (which is used to pay court judgments and settlements against the U.S. government), for any legal settlement to such a "covered individual" if their claims for harm arose from the January 6 events or from their prosecution for offenses related to those events.
