Limits how government can direct payments in legal settlements.
This bill would stop government officials from directing payments in legal settlements to groups that didn't directly suffer harm or provide services. It would also create new reporting and audit rules for federal agencies. This means payments from government settlements would go only to those directly affected or providing services, not to other third parties.
Right now, government officials can direct money from legal settlements to groups that weren't directly harmed or didn't provide services. If this bill passes, officials would only be able to direct payments for direct harm or services. Federal agencies would also face new annual reporting and audit rules.
