No Bounties on Badges Act

This bill would let the U.S. Attorney General pay rewards to people who give information about anyone offering a bounty or other payment for harming or killing a federal law enforcement officer. Rewards could be paid for information that leads to an arrest or conviction, in any country, for offering such a bounty or for conspiring or attempting to do so. Rewards could also be paid for information that helps prevent or stop such an act. The bill adds this to an existing federal rewards law that covers terrorism and espionage and renames that chapter to include the offering of bounties.
