No Taxpayer-Funded Pensions for Sex Criminals Act

This bill, titled the No Taxpayer-Funded Pensions for Sex Criminals Act, prohibits federal government employees and military personnel from receiving pension benefits if they are convicted of specific sex crimes. The law amends existing federal statutes to ensure that anyone convicted of offenses such as rape, child molestation, or sexual exploitation after the bill's enactment will have their annuities and retired pay forfeited. These penalties apply to crimes committed on or after the date the law is passed, covering both federal offenses and state crimes that would be considered federal sex offenses if committed in federal territory. The legislation also includes technical updates to related sections of the U.S. Code to ensure the forfeiture rules are consistently applied across different retirement systems.
