HR 9731 · 119th CongressIntroduced

Limit pay for nonprofit leaders getting DOJ grants

Law & Lobbying

What the bill does

This bill would stop nonprofit organizations from getting Department of Justice grants if they get more than half their money from DOJ grants and pay any officer or employee more than the Attorney General's salary. Nonprofits would have to certify they meet the rules when they apply for a grant.

Why it matters

The stakes

Nonprofits that rely heavily on DOJ grants and pay high salaries could lose funding. This affects groups that work on issues like crime victims, legal aid, or community programs.

The debate

What each side says

Supporters

Taxpayer money should not go to nonprofits that pay executives more than the Attorney General, who is the top law enforcement officer.bill
Nonprofits that depend mostly on DOJ grants should focus their spending on their mission, not on high salaries.report

Critics

The bill could hurt nonprofits that need to pay competitive salaries to attract skilled staff, even if they do important work.bill
It might unfairly target groups that rely on DOJ grants because of the nature of their work, not because of wasteful spending.report
