Bill overview
The MARSHALS Act proposes to transfer the United States Marshals Service from the Department of Justice to the judicial branch of the federal government. This would place the Marshals Service under the authority of the Chief Justice and a newly established Board, comprised of the Chief Justice, the Judicial Conference, and the Marshals Service Director. The bill also outlines key responsibilities for the service, including providing personal protection for federal officials and assisting with investigations and locating missing children, while clarifying reporting structures and oversight mechanisms.
