## Summary

**Imposes a 100% tax on civil damages received by senior federal officials.** This bill would target damages those officials win or settle in civil suits they file against the United States while serving and for one year after they leave office. - Covered people include the President, the Vice President, Members of Congress, and top executive officials. Any damages those individuals receive from civil actions against the United States would be taxed at 100%. - Close relatives of those officials, as defined in the tax code, would be treated the same for these civil-damages payments. - The measure treats those payments as excluded from gross income for regular tax accounting but creates a separate 100% tax on the amounts and bars tax deductions for payments subject to that tax.
