Bill overview
The Back the Blue Act of 2025 aims to strengthen penalties for violence against law enforcement officers and judicial officials, including those receiving federal funding. It introduces new crimes for killing or attempting to kill these individuals, expands the definition of ‘public safety officer,’ and broadens the authority for law enforcement officers to carry firearms, including concealed weapons in school zones and federal facilities. The bill also includes provisions related to flight to avoid prosecution, a specific aggravating factor for federal death penalties, and grants to improve relationships between law enforcement and communities. Finally, it limits certain federal court review of convictions for murders of public safety officers or judges.
