They don't have to give the money back already?

School cheating bill proposed
[ajc] Teachers who cheat in helping their students score higher on standardized tests would have to pay back financial bonuses linked to the scores under legislation proposed Monday.
Maybe I missed something, but isn't this already illegal? Isn't there some kind of "ill-gotten gains" law that prevents convicted criminals from profiting from their crimes? I could have sworn this loophole was already covered.

And if they're not actually convicted of crimes, then why do they have to give the money back? Who has to say they're guilty in order to trigger this law?
