Federal Reimbursement for Local Resources Used in Presidential Security.
This law authorizes the Secret Service to reimburse state and local governments when their services, personnel, or equipment are utilized for presidential security operations. This change ensures that local taxpayers do not bear the financial burden of federal security mandates, potentially stabilizing local government budgets. Local funds can thus be allocated to other public services instead of covering federal security costs.
Key points
The federal government will pay state and local authorities for the use of their police, equipment, and facilities during Secret Service protection duties.
Local budgets gain financial relief, ensuring federal security costs are covered by federal funds, not local taxes.
