This bill allows the Department of Homeland Security to use certain federal financial assistance funding to pay for vehicle security upgrades for law enforcement agencies, specifically including bulletproof windows and other protective enhancements. The legislation amends existing DHS grant programs to expand the permitted uses of financial assistance beyond their current restrictions. The bill directly affects local and state law enforcement agencies that receive DHS funding, enabling them to invest those grants in protecting their officers through vehicle security improvements. No new funding is appropriated by this bill—instead, it redirects existing authorized DHS financial assistance toward vehicle security upgrades. The measure was introduced in January 2026 and referred to the House Committee on Homeland Security for consideration.
