H.R. 9072, the Counter SNIPER Act, requires the Department of Homeland Security to provide written explanations to presidential candidates when their requests for Secret Service protection or increased protection are denied. Under the bill, the Secretary of Homeland Security must notify candidates within 14 days of a denial decision, explaining which specific criteria the candidates failed to meet. The legislation also allows candidates to formally request reconsideration of a denial and submit additional facts supporting their case, with the Secretary required to issue a final written decision within 14 days of that request. The bill affects any presidential candidate seeking Secret Service protection and aims to increase transparency in how the department makes protection eligibility decisions. No specific funding or implementation timeline beyond the 14-day response periods is included in the legislation.
