A BILL

To prohibit the provision of Federal funds to organizations that promote jury nullification, and for other purposes.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the No Rogue Jurors Act.

SEC. 2. LIMITATION ON FEDERAL FUNDS FOR ORGANIZATIONS THAT PROMOTE JURY NULLIFICATION.

No Federal funds may be used to provide a grant, contract, award, or any other form of financial assistance to any organization, school, or entity that conducts training, produces materials, or engages in outreach (including under the title or framework of Equity & Root Cause Jury Training or any substantially similar designation) for the purpose of encouraging individuals to seek jury service in any Federal or District of Columbia court proceeding with the intent to vote contrary to the evidence or applicable law, including promoting the deliberate act of voting to acquit a defendant regardless of whether the elements of the charged offense have been established (commonly referred to as jury nullification).
