PUBLIC SAFETY Act

This bill changes two sections of a 2025 federal budget law (Public Law 119-21). It moves money that law gave to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to the Attorney General for local police hiring grants under the COPS program, available through September 30, 2030. For these grants, it waives certain federal grant requirements for local and Tribal governments that employ fewer than 175 law enforcement officers. It also rewrites another section of the 2025 law to give the Attorney General $45 billion for the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program, available through September 30, 2029.
