Show full summary
- State and local governments: Would be labeled an 'anarchist jurisdiction' if they refuse reasonable steps to stop widespread violence or if they prevent policing, disempower agencies, or reject federal help. Being listed could lead agencies to disfavor them for federal grants.
- Federal agencies and the Office of Management and Budget: The OMB Director would have 30 days to issue guidance telling agencies to restrict eligibility or otherwise disfavor listed jurisdictions for federal grants to the maximum extent allowed by law.
- Department of Justice and public information: The Attorney General, in consultation with Homeland Security and OMB, would publish the list within 14 days of enactment and update it at least every 180 days.

Grant limits for labeled 'anarchist' areas
The Attorney General would post a list of "anarchist jurisdictions" within 14 days of enactment and update it every 180 days. It would cover states or local governments that refuse reasonable steps to stop violence and property damage. DOJ would weigh if a place blocks police from restoring order, blocks policing of areas (except brief tactical holds), defunds police, or unreasonably refuses federal help. Within 30 days, OMB would tell agencies how to limit grants to listed places when the law allows. If used, this could cut federal grant money and local services in those areas.
