Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This bill prohibits the federal government from using taxpayer money to pay claims submitted to the Department of Justice's Anti-Weaponization Fund, which was established on May 18, 2026. The legislation applies specifically to all federal funds, including those designated for settlement and judgment payments under existing law. The bill affects anyone seeking compensation through this DOJ fund, as it prevents the government from disbursing federal dollars to cover those claims. No specific funding amount or implementation timeline is included in the legislation, which was introduced in May 2026 by Representatives Fitzpatrick and Suozzi and referred to the House Judiciary Committee.
