This bill, the No Rogue Jurors Act, would stop federal funds from going to any organization, school, or entity that trains people, produces materials, or does outreach to encourage jury nullification. It covers activities described as encouraging individuals to seek jury service in any Federal or District of Columbia court with the intent to vote contrary to the evidence or applicable law. The text explicitly includes programs listed under names like "Equity & Root Cause Jury Training" or substantially similar designations. The bill was introduced in the House by Representative Julia Letlow and referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on April 23, 2026.
If you work for or run an organization that receives federal grants, contracts, awards, or other financial assistance, this bill would bar that federal funding if your group conducts training, creates materials, or does outreach that aims to encourage people to serve on juries intending to vote against evidence or law. The restriction applies to activities tied to jury nullification for proceedings in Federal and District of Columbia courts.
