No Taxpayer-Funded Pensions for Sex Criminals Act

Cuts to federal pensions for sex offenders

If enacted, this bill would let the government withhold or forfeit federal civilian annuities and military retired pay for people convicted of certain sex crimes. It would apply only to convictions on or after the date of enactment. The bill would list specific federal sex-offense statutes (18 U.S.C. sections 2241, 2242, 2243, 2251, 2251A, 2252, 2252A, 2252B, 2252C, 2421, 2421A, 2422, 2423, 2424, and 2425) and would treat equivalent State-law convictions the same. Forfeiture would run for the period after the date of conviction or after enactment, whichever is later. The bill would also make technical changes to pension and military pay law so those offenses are included in existing withholding and timing rules and would define "State" to include the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Republic of Palau, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
