No Pensions for Congressional Predators Act (S4343)
Current understanding
The No Pensions for Congressional Predators Act (S4343, introduced) would deny federal pension benefits to members of Congress convicted of predatory criminal offenses. For members, it adds a conviction-triggered forfeiture of accrued congressional retirement benefits; for the federal workforce accountability framework, it extends existing pension-forfeiture concepts (e.g., Hiss Act, sexual-abuse forfeiture bills) to a member-of-Congress-specific class of predatory conduct. Status: introduced.
