AI Summary
This bill, titled the "No Rewards for January 6 Rioters Act," aims to prevent individuals prosecuted for their involvement in the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol from receiving any compensation from federal funds. This prohibition extends to funds from the "Judgment Fund," which is a pool of money used to pay court judgments against the U.S. government, and any victim compensation funds. Furthermore, the bill explicitly forbids the creation of any new fund for such compensation and mandates that any court-ordered payments like restitution or fines already paid by convicted individuals involved in the Capitol attack will not be refunded; instead, these amounts will be transferred to the Architect of the Capitol.
