No Pensions for Congressional Predators Act
The No Pensions for Congressional Predators Act prevents members of Congress and certain territorial delegates from receiving federal retirement benefits if they are convicted of specific sexual crimes. This law directly affects current and former legislators by amending the rules for the Civil Service Retirement System and the Federal Employees' Retirement System. Under the bill, anyone convicted of offenses such as sexual abuse, child exploitation, possession of child sexual abuse material, or child trafficking after the law takes effect will be barred from these pensions. The measure applies only to acts or omissions occurring after its enactment date, ensuring that the penalty is tied to future behavior rather than past actions.
