Reinstate publication of litigation settlements and attorneys' fees
What the document says“A new Administration should reinstate it.”
The policy required the department to display and provide open access to all litigation settlements it entered and any attorneys' fees paid to end the litigation. The chapter says the current department ended the policy because the settlements it planned to enter and the fees it expected to pay would cause controversy.
What the document actually says“A new Administration should reinstate it.”
The next team should bring that rule back.
The department settles lawsuits. It used to publish each deal. It also published the legal fees. The book says that should start again.
Read against the documents indexed here on August 26, 2026, and nothing was found that answers this. Nothing indexed restores publication of the department's litigation settlements and the attorneys' fees paid to end them. The candidate closest by title, rule-2025-15081, is an Army rule removing gender ideology language from a litigation regulation, not a settlement disclosure policy. That is a record of a search, not a finding that nothing has happened: an act this site does not hold, or one that answers the proposal in words unlike its own, would not be caught by it.
