Nonprofit organizations that get more than half their funding from the Department of Justice would be banned from receiving those grants if they pay any executive or employee more than the Attorney General's annual salary. This rule would prevent taxpayer-funded grants from going to nonprofits that compensate their staff at unusually high levels compared to top government officials. The measure affects nonprofits that rely heavily on federal justice department funding.
