## Summary

**Would bar federal funds from compensating people prosecuted for involvement in the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.** It would cover all federal money, including payments from the Judgment Fund and any victim compensation fund, and would apply even to pardoned individuals. The bill would also forbid creating a compensation fund for those people. It would stop refunds of court-ordered payments such as restitution, fines, or special assessments and would require the Treasury to transfer those amounts to the Architect of the Capitol.
