Secret Service Realignment: Transfer to Treasury Department

This act moves the Secret Service from the Department of Homeland Security to the Department of the Treasury. This means the agency responsible for protecting the president and vice president, as well as combating counterfeiting, will now report to a different department. For citizens, this should not have a direct impact on daily life, but it may affect how this important service is managed and funded.
Key points
The Secret Service, including its personnel and functions, is transferred to the Department of the Treasury, maintaining its distinct entity.
All existing administrative actions, legal proceedings, and employment conditions for Secret Service personnel remain unchanged after the transfer.
The act introduces new requirements for annual reports on Secret Service expenditures for protecting the president and vice president during travel, increasing financial transparency.
