Summary
The bill prohibits federal officials from entering settlement agreements that direct payments to anyone other than the United States, unless the payment directly remedies harm or pays for services related to the case. Violations trigger the same penalties as a breach of 31 U.S.C. §3302, and each agency must submit annual reports and audits of such settlements. It aims to stop the use of settlement funds as political or charitable donations.
