No Federal Funds for Political Prosecutions Act
HR 118, the "No Federal Funds for Political Prosecutions Act," prohibits state and local law enforcement agencies from using federal forfeiture funds (from drug or crime cases) to investigate or prosecute the President, Vice President, former officials, or presidential candidates. Agencies must certify compliance with this rule to receive funds, and the Attorney General can disqualify non-compliant agencies from future funding. The bill directly affects law enforcement agencies receiving federal forfeiture funds by restricting their use for specific political prosecutions. It does not create new laws but modifies how existing federal funds can be allocated.
