Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committees on Energy and Commerce, and Transportation and Infrastructure, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
This bill would require federal law enforcement agencies to obtain approval from state and local officials before conducting certain operations in their jurisdictions. Specifically, it limits the Drug Enforcement Administration's authority to drug-related investigations only, requires the U.S. Marshals Service to get permission from state or local leaders before deputizing their officers, and requires the Department of Homeland Security to obtain state or local approval before deploying additional officers to protect federal property during protest activities. The bill affects federal agencies including the DEA, U.S. Marshals Service, and DHS, as well as state and local governments that would gain authority over federal law enforcement operations within their borders. The legislation contains no specific funding allocations or implementation timelines, and would take effect upon passage.
