No Fortune for Fraud Act

The No Fortune for Fraud Act (H.R. 1391) would prohibit members of the House of Representatives from profiting from their public profile if they are convicted of certain serious crimes. Specifically, any member convicted of felonies such as bribery, defrauding the government, or campaign finance violations would be barred from receiving compensation for books, media appearances, or other creative works. Members who violate this rule would face significant financial consequences, including civil penalties of up to $10 million per violation.
