This bill prohibits federal employees and military personnel from receiving retirement pensions or annuities if they are convicted of certain sex crimes. Specifically, it targets convictions under federal laws covering sexual abuse, child sexual exploitation, human trafficking, and related offenses, as well as equivalent crimes under state law. The forfeiture of retirement benefits applies to individuals convicted of these offenses on or after the bill's enactment date, with the benefit loss beginning from the conviction date or the law's effective date, whichever is later. The bill modifies existing federal pension forfeiture rules in title 5 of the U.S. Code and makes conforming changes to related federal personnel and military retirement provisions. No new funding is required since the bill simply redirects existing pension dollars away from individuals convicted of the specified sex crimes.
