No Rewards for January 6 Rioters Act

Prevention of Federal Compensation: Under Section 2(a), federal funds—including the Judgment Fund and victim compensation funds—cannot be used to compensate individuals prosecuted for the January 6, 2021, attack. This ensures that taxpayer money is not used to pay those involved in the event, even if they receive a pardon.

Prevention of New Compensation Funds: Per Section 2(b), no new compensation funds can be established for these specific individuals, preventing the creation of new ways to distribute money to them.

Retention of Court-Ordered Payments: According to Section 3(a), the U.S. Treasury will not refund any court-ordered compensation, such as fines or restitution, paid by convicted individuals. This ensures that money paid as part of a legal judgment stays out of the hands of those convicted.

Redirection of Funds: Under Section 3(b), the Secretary of the Treasury is directed to transfer the funds mentioned in the restitution and fines section to the Architect of the Capitol.

No Refunds for Convicted Individuals: Under Section 3(a), individuals who paid court-ordered compensation, including restitution, fines, or special assessments for their involvement in the January 6, 2021, attack, will not receive any refunds from the United States Treasury, even if they are subsequently pardoned.

Loss of Access to Federal Compensation: Per Section 2(a), individuals prosecuted for the attack are barred from receiving compensation through federal avenues, including the Judgment Fund or any victim compensation fund, regardless of whether they have been pardoned.
