What this amendment would do

SA 5555, submitted by Mr. Padilla and Mr. Whitehouse, aims to ensure that no Federal funds are used to provide rewards or compensation to individuals involved in the January 6, 2021, attack on the United States Capitol.

The amendment seeks to add a section to the bill that prohibits the use of Federal funds, such as those from the Judgment Fund, for the following:

  • Compensating individuals convicted of involvement in the attack, including those who were later pardoned or pardoned while their case was pending.

  • Establishing any fund meant to compensate the individuals described above.

  • Refunding court-ordered payments, such as fines, restitution, or special assessments, paid by individuals convicted of involvement in the attack, including those subsequently pardoned.
