Bill overview
This bill, titled the PUBLIC SAFETY Act, aims to increase funding for local law enforcement through two key grant programs. It redirects funds originally intended for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to the COPS Hiring Program, which helps local agencies hire more officers. Additionally, it provides a significant appropriation for the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program, supporting a wide range of criminal justice activities at the local level. The bill also expands eligibility for certain grant waivers to include smaller law enforcement agencies and Tribal governments.
