Bill Summary
The proposal would move the Secret Service from the Department of Homeland Security to become an independent agency directly under the President's office, giving the President more direct control over the agency that protects him and investigates counterfeiting. This change would affect how the Secret Service operates and reports to leadership, potentially impacting its independence and how it coordinates with other federal law enforcement agencies.
