Bill overview
This bill reauthorizes the Fugitive Safe Surrender Program, a component of the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act. The program allows wanted individuals to voluntarily surrender themselves to law enforcement without being immediately arrested. It provides funding to states and tribes to operate these surrender programs, facilitating a safer and more efficient process for fugitives to turn themselves in. The bill specifically increases the federal funding allocated to the program for the years 2024 through 2027.
