Show full summary
- Indian Tribes: Lets tribes request U.S. Marshals assistance for Tribal fugitive matters, giving them a clear federal option for cross-jurisdictional arrests and transfers.
- U.S. Marshals Service: Expands the scope of matters the Marshals may handle to explicitly list Tribal fugitive matters and consider Tribal as well as local concerns.
- Legal and threat-protection rules: Adds 'Tribal' to the Presidential Threat Protection Act and treats Tribal law alongside Federal and State law for those provisions.

Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Marshals can help with tribal fugitives
If enacted, the bill would amend 28 U.S.C. 566(e)(1) to include "Tribal fugitive matters" and allow the U.S. Marshals Service to assist when an Indian Tribe requests help. It would also add "Tribal" after "local" in the statute's list of matters the Marshals Service may handle. This would improve federal help and coordination for tribal public safety. The bill would not create new funding.
Tribes added to threat protection
If enacted, the bill would add Indian Tribes and Tribal entities to the Presidential Threat Protection Act's covered components. It would replace references to "Federal or State law" with "Federal, State, or Tribal law," making Tribal law explicit under the Act. This would let tribes access the Act's threat-protection authorities like states and local governments. The bill would not create new funding.
