No CORRUPTION Act

1/14/2025, 7:03 PM

No Congressionally Obligated Recurring Revenue Used as Pensions To Incarcerated Officials Now Act or the No CORRUPTION Act

This bill makes a Member of Congress who has been convicted of a crime related to public corruption ineligible to receive retirement payments pursuant to the Civil Service Retirement System or the Federal Employees' Retirement System based on service as a Member. Under current law, a Member must forgo receipt of these payments only after a final conviction (i.e., after the exhaustion of all appeals under the judicial process).

The No CORRUPTION Act, also known as Bill 118 s 932, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The main goal of this bill is to address and prevent corruption within the government by implementing various measures.

One key provision of the No CORRUPTION Act is the establishment of stricter ethics rules for members of Congress and government officials. This includes requiring more transparency in financial disclosures and prohibiting certain activities that could lead to conflicts of interest.

Additionally, the bill aims to strengthen enforcement mechanisms for existing anti-corruption laws and increase penalties for those found guilty of corrupt practices. This includes enhancing the powers of oversight bodies and providing more resources for investigations. Furthermore, the No CORRUPTION Act includes provisions to improve whistleblower protections, making it easier for individuals to report corruption without fear of retaliation. This is seen as a crucial step in uncovering and addressing corrupt practices within the government. Overall, the No CORRUPTION Act is a comprehensive piece of legislation aimed at combating corruption within the US government. If passed, it has the potential to significantly improve transparency, accountability, and integrity in the political system.
