§ 1095 Public Funds Payment Restrictions

Key Takeaways

  • •People in charge of public money can't pay for anything bought or sold in a shady way.
  • •If someone tries to use a fake or illegal bill to get money from the government, it won't work.
  • •This rule helps stop people from cheating the government out of money.

Example

A person tries to get paid by the city for fixing a road, but they got the job by bribing a city worker.

The city won't pay them because they got the job in a bad way, and the law says no to paying for shady deals.
