Plain-English Summary

The federal government currently pays out settlements and judgments when it loses lawsuits, and this bill would set new limits on how much money can be awarded in these cases. The changes would affect anyone suing the federal government for damages, potentially reducing the compensation they could receive if they win their case. The bill is currently under review by the Senate Judiciary Committee.
