WILLIS Act

H.R. 5267, also known as the WILLIS Act (Wait Into Looking at Investigative Subpoenas Act), is a bill that would prohibit the federal government from providing any funding to the Office of the Fulton County District Attorney in Georgia. The legislation specifically targets the office of District Attorney Fani Willis, seeking to block federal grants or financial assistance until any related congressional investigations into the office are completed.

For everyday citizens, the practical impact of this bill would be a potential reduction in federal resources available to the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office for its various legal and prosecutorial functions. If enacted, the bill would serve as a financial restriction on a local prosecutor's office by the federal government, tied to ongoing oversight by the U.S. House of Representatives.
