No Bounties on Badges Act
This bill, S 3453 ("No Bounties on Badges Act"), authorizes the Attorney General to offer rewards for information leading to arrests, convictions, or prevention of attacks against U.S. federal law enforcement officers. It specifically creates a program allowing rewards for tips about acts harming or killing officers, conspiracies to do so, or efforts to prevent such attacks. The law directly affects federal law enforcement officers (the targets of potential violence) and individuals who provide actionable information to authorities. It amends existing law to add this reward mechanism under Title 18, U.S. Code, section 3071, without restricting other bounty programs.
