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 pay individuals prosecuted for the January s 6 attack, even if they are subsequently pardoned. This ensures that taxpayer money is not used to compensate those involved in the attack.

Prevention of New Funds: Section 2(b) prohibits the establishment of any compensation fund specifically for these individuals, ensuring no new avenues are created to use public money for their compensation.

Retention of Penalties: Under Section 3(a), the U.S. Treasury is prohibited from refunding court-ordered money such as fines or restitution paid by those convicted of involvement in the attack. This ensures that penalties paid by the individuals remain with the government rather than being returned to them.

Loss of Refunds: According to Section 3(a), individuals convicted for involvement in the January 6 attack, including those who may be subsequently pardoned, are prohibited from receiving refunds for court-ordered compensation, fines, or special assessments from the U.S. Treasury.

Transfer of Funds: Under Section 3(b), any funds described in the section regarding unrefunded payments are transferred to the Architect of the Capitol rather than being returned to the individuals.
