Plain-English Summary
The federal government currently pays out judgments and settlements when it loses lawsuits, but this bill would cap how much money can be paid out in any single case. The limits would apply to court judgments, arbitration awards, and negotiated settlements involving federal agencies, potentially reducing the amount of compensation that individuals or organizations can receive when they successfully sue the government.
