Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would create a grant program in the Department of Homeland Security to repay State, local, Tribal, and territorial law enforcement agencies for costs of protecting private homes and offices of people guarded by the Secret Service, such as the President and Vice President. Agencies must certify that grant money covers only costs beyond their normal operations, and funds may be used only for officer time and equipment tied to protecting the property while the protected person is there or traveling to or from it. The Inspector General would audit the program each year, and the Secretary would report grant amounts, officer hours, and equipment purchased for each grantee. The bill authorizes $61 million per year for fiscal years 2026 through 2028.
