Bill Intelligence

The bill "Kayleigh’s Law Act of 2026" amends the U.S. legal code to introduce natural lifetime injunctions for certain federal offenses, including crimes of violence and sexual acts. These injunctions would prohibit contact between the defendant and the victim for the defendant's lifetime, with violations being punishable as contempt of court. The bill includes provisions for termination or suspension of the injunction, addressing changes in circumstances or appeal outcomes. Importantly, it ensures that no fees can be charged to the victim for obtaining the injunction, and clarifies that this law does not limit its application within any state's jurisdiction.
