Plain-English Summary

The federal government would be prohibited from using taxpayer money to pay settlements or awards in cases where the government admits wrongdoing or agrees to compromise with individuals or organizations suing it. This change would affect how federal agencies handle legal disputes and could limit the amount of money available for resolving claims against the government. The proposal is currently under review by the House Judiciary Committee.
