What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Withholding Investments from Lawless Litigators In States Act" or the "WILLIS Act," aims to stop federal money from going to the Fulton County District Attorney's Office. It dictates that no federal funds may be awarded or made available to that specific office. Additionally, the bill rescinds any remaining unobligated funds allocated for the office. It also requires the Attorney General to take steps to ensure the office reimburses the Federal Government for money spent after January 1, 2021.
