What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Federal Prosecutorial Accountability Act," aims to amend title 28 of the United States Code. It seeks to prohibit attorneys serving the government from temporarily representing the government if they have been sanctioned by a court. Specifically, it targets attorneys who have received sanctions under rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Under this act, such attorneys would be barred from representing the government in court and filings for a period of one year. The Office of Professional Responsibility of the Department of Justice would be responsible for carrying out these rules.
