Honesty in Government Act of 2026

Extends the statute of limitations for false statements to Congress to 10 years. This bill would add a new federal rule that lets prosecutors bring charges under 18 U.S.C. 1001 for false statements, concealment, or fraudulent representations tied to congressional investigations, reviews, or oversight if the indictment or information is filed within 10 years of the offense. The change would apply only to offenses committed after the law takes effect and would not revive claims already time-barred before that date.
