Providing Resources and Oversight for Tactical Equipment to Communities and Troops Act

This bill changes the federal program that transfers extra Department of Defense equipment to law enforcement agencies. It requires the Secretary of Defense to set up standard procedures to get input from State coordinators and federal stakeholders, including yearly consultations to prioritize transfers for counterdrug, counterterrorism, disaster preparedness, and border security work. It requires minimum yearly training standards for State coordinators. The Defense Logistics Agency must review the program within one year and every two years after, and the Secretary must report the findings to the House and Senate Armed Services Committees and post the reports online.
