AI Summary
This bill, known as the "No Bounties on Badges Act," amends existing federal law, specifically Chapter 204 of title 18 of the United States Code, to allow for the Attorney General to offer rewards for information that leads to the arrest or conviction of individuals who offer money or compensation to harm or kill any U.S. law enforcement officer. This includes rewards for information leading to the arrest or conviction of those who conspire or attempt to commit such acts, or who help prevent or frustrate them. The bill also updates the chapter heading and related table of contents to reflect the inclusion of "offering of bounties" alongside existing categories like terrorist acts and espionage.
