Bill > S3453

This bill, titled the "No Bounties on Badges Act," amends existing federal law to allow for awards to individuals who provide information leading to the arrest or conviction of those who deliberately target law enforcement officers with violence or intimidation. Specifically, it modifies Chapter 204 of title 18 of the United States Code, which deals with rewards for information. The bill adds a provision allowing the Attorney General to offer rewards for information that helps apprehend or convict individuals involved in offering a bounty, which means offering money or other compensation, for harming or killing a U.S. law enforcement officer. This also includes information leading to the arrest or conviction of those who conspire or attempt to commit such acts, or information that helps prevent or thwart these violent acts against officers. The change aims to deter and punish those who would seek to harm law enforcement officials.
