No Settlements for January 6 Law Enforcement Assaulters Act

This bill would bar the federal government from using federal money to pay legal settlements to people convicted of assaulting a law enforcement officer in connection with the events at or near the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. The ban includes the Judgment Fund, the federal account used to pay court judgments and settlements against the government. It applies to settlements based on claims of harm the person says they suffered during the January 6 events or from being prosecuted for offenses related to those events. The bill covers convictions under federal law and District of Columbia law for assaulting officers.
