H.R. 5352: To prohibit Federal funding for entities that employ individuals who condone and celebrate political violence and domestic terrorism, and for other purposes.

This bill aims to prevent any federal funding from being given to organizations or entities that employ individuals who support or celebrate political violence and domestic terrorism. Specifically, it states that no federal money can be used for these entities. The bill defines "political violence" and "domestic terrorism" in accordance with existing federal law (specifically referring to section 2331 of title 18, United States Code). The intention behind the bill is to ensure that government funds are not allocated to companies or groups whose employees are seen as endorsing harmful actions that threaten national security or public safety.

Key Provisions

• No federal funds can be provided to any entity employing individuals who are found to condone political violence or domestic terrorism.
• The terms “political violence” and “domestic terrorism” are defined according to existing legal frameworks to provide clarity and consistency.

Implications

The bill's passage could lead to increased scrutiny of organizations that receive federal funding, as they may be required to review and report on the behavior and beliefs of their employees to ensure compliance with this law. Organizations that could be affected include non-profits, educational institutions, and businesses that receive federal grants or contracts.
