This legislation, titled the "January 6th Truth and Transparency Act," mandates the Congressional Research Service (CRS) to prepare and publicly release reports on recidivism. These reports specifically focus on individuals who received pardons, commutations, or had indictments dismissed under Presidential Proclamation 10887 , which addresses offenses related to the events at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021. The CRS is required to submit the initial report within 60 days of the Act's enactment, with subsequent updates every 180 days. These reports will be provided to designated congressional committees and made publicly available on the Library of Congress website. Each report must include a comprehensive list of all individuals covered by the proclamation. Crucially, it must detail any subsequent arrests, charges, or convictions for new criminal offenses under Federal, State, or local law since January 20, 2025. Additionally, the report will identify individuals who have been involved in law enforcement encounters where force was used against them, along with any other information the CRS deems appropriate.
