AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would bar the use of federal funds for grants, contracts, awards, or other financial assistance to any organization, school, or entity that trains, produces materials, or does outreach to encourage people to serve on juries with the intent to vote against the evidence or law. The ban covers efforts aimed at federal courts and District of Columbia courts. It includes promoting votes to acquit a defendant regardless of whether the elements of the charged offense have been proven, known as jury nullification. The ban also applies to programs operating under the name "Equity & Root Cause Jury Training" or a substantially similar name.
