No Payoffs for Pardons Act aims to prevent bribery in executive clemency by requiring financial disclosures and imposing penalties.
The No Payoffs for Pardons Act seeks to reform executive clemency by addressing potential misuse and corruption. It mandates that recipients of executive clemency file annual disclosure reports with the Attorney General for four years after receiving clemency. These reports must detail any benefits provided to the President, their immediate family, or entities associated with them. Failure to file or filing materially false reports carries civil and criminal penalties. The Act also extends the statute of limitations for bribery offenses related to executive clemency to 10 years.
