H.R. 62: Withholding Investments from Lawless Litigators In States Act

This bill, officially titled the "Withholding Investments from Lawless Litigators In States Act" or the "WILLIS Act," proposes two main actions concerning federal funding for the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office in Georgia.

Prohibition on Federal Funding

The bill explicitly prohibits any federal funds from being awarded or made available to the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office. This means that the office would not receive any financial support from the federal government for its operations moving forward.

Rescission and Repayment of Federal Funding

Additionally, the bill calls for the rescission, or cancellation, of all unobligated federal funds previously allocated to the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office. The Attorney General would be tasked with ensuring that the office reimburses the federal government for any funds it has already used since January 1, 2021. This could include seeking repayment for any federal resources that were initially distributed to support the office's functions.

Overall Impact

The overall intent of the bill is to limit the financial resources available to the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office by removing federal funding entirely and requiring a repayment of any previously used federal funds. This could have significant operational impacts on the office, potentially affecting its ability to carry out its duties.
