The BLANCHE Act of 2026 prohibits certain agreements resolving claims against the U.S. by the President.
The BLANCHE Act of 2026 establishes requirements for compromise settlements between the President and the United States. It voids any settlement agreement unless it is subject to a court order. A court may only issue such an order if the President files a civil action and presents the proposed terms. The court must then conduct a hearing, find that the parties are adverse, the action was not brought to force an agreement, the U.S. made a good faith effort to explore defenses, the agreement is not collusive or a fraud, and it is in the interest of justice.
