Summary

The bill bars large Department of Defense contractors from buying their own shares, paying dividends, or tying executive compensation to short‑term financial metrics, and caps such compensation at $5 million per year. Contractors must certify compliance, create prevention plans, and can receive waivers only if they meet strict performance standards. The goal is to keep contractor focus on delivering equipment and services to the warfighter.
