Federal Employment Ban for Refusing to Testify or Perjury Before Congress
This Act introduces penalties for individuals summoned to testify before Congress who refuse to answer questions or are finally convicted of perjury. The consequence is a ban from federal employment. For citizens, this represents an effort to increase accountability among federal officials by enabling their removal from civil service if they violate these provisions.
Key points
Individuals who refuse to answer pertinent questions during Congressional hearings will be banned (debarred) from Federal employment.
Persons finally convicted of perjury or making false statements before Congress will also lose the right to Federal employment.
Federal employees violating these rules will be removed from the civil service, in addition to other legal penalties.
A procedure is established allowing Congress to rescind salary funds for a Federal employee witness who violates these provisions.
