AI Summary
This bill requires localities and constitutional officers, such as sheriffs or commonwealth's attorneys, to identify all expenses incurred for providing security during visits by the President of the United States. If such expenses arise, the locality or constitutional officer must attempt to get reimbursed by the federal government within 30 days and simultaneously post a list of these expenses on their official website, if they have one, updating it to show if reimbursement has occurred. Furthermore, if a locality or constitutional officer expects to have these security-related expenses in the next fiscal year, they must include the estimated total cost in their budget or budget request.
