Bill > S4447

This bill, titled the "No Taxpayer-Funded Pensions for Sex Criminals Act," aims to prevent individuals convicted of certain sex crimes from receiving government-funded annuities and retired pay, which are forms of regular payments made to former government employees after they retire. Specifically, it amends existing law to ensure that if someone is convicted of offenses listed in the bill, including specific federal sex offenses outlined in title 18 of the U.S. Code and similar state-level offenses, their eligibility for these retirement benefits will be forfeited. This forfeiture applies to convictions occurring on or after the date the bill becomes law, and the bill also clarifies that this applies to crimes that occurred on or after its enactment. The bill defines "State" broadly to include all U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and various U.S. territories and commonwealths.
