Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
This bill would amend federal law to allow the Secret Service to reimburse state and local governments for resources they provide to support presidential security. Currently, the Secret Service can request help from state and local police, emergency services, and other agencies during presidential protection operations, but there is no clear federal mechanism to compensate those jurisdictions for their costs. The legislation authorizes the Department of Homeland Security to use state and local services, personnel, equipment, and facilities on a reimbursable basis, with the consent of those governments. This change would help ensure that communities bearing the expense of presidential security details receive compensation for their contributions. The bill does not specify a funding amount or implementation timeline.
