Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would change the federal bribery law's definition of an "official act" by a public official. The new definition would expressly include any pardon, commutation, or reprieve, and any offer of one. It would also state that an official act can be a single act, more than one act, or a course of conduct. It would further state that an act counts as an official act whether or not it achieves the desired outcome.
