This bill seeks to expand the availability of bulletproof vests to law enforcement officers by increasing the federal government’s contribution to the Patrick Leahy Bulletproof Vest Partnership Program. Specifically, it raises the federal share of grant funding from 50% to 60% for vests purchased by eligible law enforcement agencies. The bill also increases the overall appropriation for the program, authorizing $60 million per year from fiscal year 2026 through 2030. This expansion aims to better equip officers with protective gear and enhance public safety.
