Ban federal funding for jury nullification
If enacted, federal agencies would not be able to use Federal funds to give grants, contracts, awards, or other financial help to any group that trains, produces materials, or does outreach on jury service under names like "Equity & Root Cause Jury Training" or any similar label. The ban would apply when the activity encourages people to seek jury service in a Federal or District of Columbia court with the intent to vote contrary to the evidence or applicable law. The prohibition would explicitly cover programs that promote jury nullification, including urging jurors to vote to acquit even if the charged elements were proven. This chunk of text does not specify penalties, an enforcing agency, or an effective date.
