This bill would prevent federal employees and military personnel from receiving pension payments if they are convicted of certain sex crimes. The legislation applies to convictions for specific federal sexual offenses listed in the bill, as well as state-level crimes that would constitute equivalent federal offenses. The forfeiture of pensions would take effect immediately upon conviction for crimes committed on or after the bill's enactment date, and would also apply retroactively to individuals convicted after the law takes effect, regardless of when their original crime occurred. The bill affects current and former federal workers and service members across all branches of government and military. There is no specific funding mechanism described in the legislation, as it operates by prohibiting payment rather than requiring new expenditures.
