Plain-English Summary

The federal government currently pays out settlements and judgments when it loses lawsuits, and this bill would set limits on how much money can be awarded in these cases. The changes would affect anyone suing the federal government for damages, potentially capping the amounts they could receive even if they win their case. This could impact federal employees, contractors, and citizens seeking compensation for injuries or losses caused by government actions.
