Preventing Payouts for Insurrectionists Act

This bill, known as the Preventing Payouts for Insurrectionists Act, bars individuals convicted of specific crimes related to the January 6 Capitol attack or election interference from receiving future federal compensation. It also requires people who received such payments between January 20, 2025, and the date the law is enacted to return the money to the U.S. Treasury. State attorneys general are authorized to sue these individuals in federal court to enforce the repayment and collect an additional 25% penalty to cover legal costs. The rules apply to any claim filed on or after January 20, 2025, regardless of when the underlying incident occurred.
