Ending Senators' Financial Gains from Senate Data Disclosure Lawsuits.
This Act repeals rules that allowed Senators to receive funds from private lawsuits related to the disclosure of Senate data, promoting greater accountability. Any Senator who previously received such funds under the repealed provisions must return them to the U.S. Treasury. This removes a mechanism that could lead to personal financial gain at the expense of legislative procedures.
Key points
Eliminates the ability for Senators to profit financially from specific lawsuits concerning Senate data disclosure (the 'private right of action').
Requires Senators to pay back any funds previously awarded under the now-repealed legal provisions to the general Treasury fund, enhancing financial accountability.
