The AFFAIR Act would prohibit federal funding to state and local prosecutor offices if any official in those offices has been convicted of corruption or other unlawful activity. The bill applies to all state and local chief prosecutors' offices across the country and would cut off federal funds as a penalty for criminal convictions of office personnel. The legislation does not specify the amount of funding affected or establish a timeline for implementation beyond the immediate prohibition once the law takes effect. This bill aims to ensure that federal taxpayer money does not support prosecutor offices with convicted criminals on staff.
