The "No Bounties on Badges Act" amends federal law to authorize the Attorney General to offer rewards for information leading to the arrest or conviction of individuals who place bounties on law enforcement officers or offer money to harm or kill them. The bill applies to anyone offering such bounties, as well as those who conspire or attempt to do so, and also covers individuals who provide information that prevents these acts from occurring. The legislation expands the existing federal rewards program that currently covers terrorist acts and espionage to include this new category of crimes targeting law enforcement. The bill does not specify a funding amount or timeline, leaving those details to the Attorney General's discretion. It was introduced by a bipartisan group of senators in December 2025 and referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
