To prohibit Federal funding for entities that employ individuals who condone and celebrate political violence and domestic terrorism, and for other purposes.
Sponsored By: Representative Van Orden, Derrick [R-WI-3]
Introduced
Summary
This bill would prohibit federal funds to any entity that employs individuals who condone or celebrate political violence and domestic terrorism. It uses the federal definition of domestic terrorism in 18 U.S.C. § 2331 to identify covered conduct. The bill makes an entity's eligibility for awards, obligations, or disbursements of Federal funds depend on whether it employs such individuals rather than on actions taken by the entity itself.
