No Taxpayer-Funded Pensions for Sex Criminals Act
This bill, the No Taxpayer-Funded Pensions for Sex Criminals Act, requires federal employees convicted of certain sex crimes to forfeit their pension benefits. It applies to convictions for specific federal offenses (such as sexual abuse, exploitation, or trafficking under Title 18) and equivalent state crimes that would qualify as federal offenses. The pension forfeiture takes effect from the date of conviction or the bill's enactment date, whichever is later, for crimes committed on or after the bill's passage. The law updates existing pension rules to exclude these individuals from receiving benefits, ensuring taxpayer funds do not support pensions for such convictions.
