| https://norman.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=1708 | Rep. Norman and Rep. Pfluger Introduce the No CORRUPTION Act to Close Pension Loopholes for Corrupt Politicians | 2023-09-26 | 2023 | 2023-09 | Republican | House | SC | Ralph Norman | N000190 | norman.house.gov | norman | https://norman.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27 | scraper | On Tuesday, Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC-5) and Rep. August Pfluger (R-TX-11) introduced the No Congressionally Obligated Recurring Revenue Used as Pensions to Incarcerated Officials Now (CORRUPTION) Act to eliminate pension payments for Members of Congress who have been convicted of various criminal offenses. This bill is a re-introduction of H.R 3327 from the 117th Congress. Under current law, if a pension-eligible Member of Congress is convicted of certain crimes, he or she is still eligible to receive that pension through the appeals process until a "final conviction" is reached, which could drag on for years. (A "final conviction" is defined as a criminal conviction where all possible appeal options have either expired or been exhausted.) The No CORRUPTION Act would mandate that Members found guilty of these crimes immediately become ineligible to collect any pension payments earned while serving as a Member of Congress. This would apply upon initial conviction, not years down the road after reaching final conviction. This bill is the House companion to S. 932 introduced by Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) and Senator Rick Scott (R-FL). | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:37:48Z |
