SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ``No Rogue Jurors Act''.

SEC. 2. LIMITATION ON FEDERAL FUNDS FOR ORGANIZATIONS THAT PROMOTE JURY 
NULLIFICATION.

No Federal funds may be used to provide a grant, contract, award, 
or any other form of financial assistance to any organization, school, 
or entity that conducts training, produces materials, or engages in 
outreach (including under the title or framework of ``Equity & Root 
Cause Jury Training'' or any substantially similar designation) for the 
purpose of encouraging individuals to seek jury service in any Federal 
or District of Columbia court proceeding with the intent to vote 
contrary to the evidence or applicable law, including promoting the 
deliberate act of voting to acquit a defendant regardless of whether 
the elements of the charged offense have been established (commonly 
referred to as ``jury nullification'').
