Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committee on Homeland Security, 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.
The Secret Service Transfer Act of 2026 would move the United States Secret Service from the Department of Homeland Security to the Executive Office of the President, making it a presidential agency rather than part of the cabinet department. All current Secret Service personnel, assets, contracts, and liabilities would transfer to the Executive Office, with the existing director continuing in that role at the same compensation level. The agency would initially maintain its current organizational structure and operations following the transfer, though the director would have authority to reorganize it later to improve efficiency and effectiveness. The legislation gives the Department of Homeland Security one year from enactment to assist with the transition and requires all transfer activities to be completed within that timeframe. This change would place the Secret Service directly under presidential control for its protective and investigative missions.
