What this bill would do
This bill is called the No Taxpayer Bailouts for Insurrectionists Act of 2026. It places limits on using government funds for certain settlement agreements involving high-ranking officials or people convicted of crimes related to the January 6, 2021, events at the Capitol. Specifically, it bans any funds from being obligated for the settlement agreement in Trump v. Internal Revenue Service. For other settlements of $50,000 or more involving covered persons, the Attorney General must first report to Congress and get an Inspector General certification. It also orders the Comptroller General to study the compensation fund in the aforementioned lawsuit.

Potential Positive Impacts for People
-
Transparency and Accountability: Under Section 3, the Attorney General must submit a report to Congress at least 90 days before any settlement of $50,000 or more is made with a covered person, which holds officials accountable by detailing every claim, payment, legal justification, and an Inspector General certification.
-
Protection of Public Funds: Under Section 2, the bill bans the use of government funds for the settlement agreement in Trump v. Internal Revenue Service, which stops taxpayer money from going toward that specific payout.
Potential Negative Impacts for People
Based on the provided text, there are no specific positive or negative impacts explicitly identified for individuals or groups that would be considered a burden, other than the restrictions placed on the specific settlement agreements and covered persons outlined in the bill.
