Plain-English Summary

This bill would restrict how federal agencies can use money they receive from settling legal cases or violations, preventing them from directing those funds to causes or programs not directly related to the violation. Currently, agencies sometimes use settlement money more broadly, and this bill aims to ensure that money goes toward compensating victims or fixing the specific problem that led to the settlement rather than funding unrelated agency priorities. The change would affect how federal agencies manage billions of dollars in annual settlements with companies and individuals.
