To amend title 18, United States Code, to authorize awards for the arrest or conviction of individuals that deliberately target law enforcement officials with acts of violence or intimidation, and for other purposes.
Summary
The bill amends federal law to expand the reward program for information leading to arrests and convictions related to crimes against law enforcement. Specifically, it authorizes the Attorney General to offer rewards for information that leads to the arrest or conviction of individuals who offer bounties or money in exchange for harming or killing U.S. law enforcement officers. The bill also covers information leading to the arrest or conviction of individuals who conspire or attempt to commit such acts, as well as information that prevents or foils such plots. The reward program applies to activities anywhere, including outside the United States. The bill updates the federal criminal code to include this new category related to bounties on law enforcement officers.
