No Taxpayer Bailouts for Insurrectionists Act of 2026
To provide for a limitation on obligation of funds in certain settlement agreements.
HB9136, known as the "No Taxpayer Bailouts for Insurrectionists Act of 2026," aims to restrict the use of taxpayer funds in settlement agreements involving individuals charged with insurrection. This bill would prevent the use of federal funds to pay for legal settlements or other financial agreements in cases where the accused has been charged with insurrection against the United States.
This legislation would directly impact individuals charged with insurrection and any associated legal settlements. It ensures that taxpayers' money is not used to fund settlements for those accused of such serious offenses. The bill was introduced by Representative Dina Titus on June 3, 2026, and it was immediately referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary for further review and consideration.
As of now, HB9136 is in its initial stages. It was introduced and referred on the same day, June 3, 2026. The next steps will involve committee review, potential amendments, and a vote in the House before it can move to the Senate. The bill's progress will depend on the committee's recommendations and the House's decision to advance it.
