Introduced
Summary
Blocks federal agencies from contracting with companies that refuse or have policies allowing refusal of service to federal law enforcement officers. This bill would bar agencies from agreements for covered services such as lodging, transportation, food and beverage, healthcare, vehicle rental, property rental, and storage if an entity refused service during the preceding one-year period.
Show full summary
- Federal law enforcement officers: Creates a contract-based protection by disqualifying firms that, during the prior one-year period, refused a covered service to an officer because of the officer's official duty or maintained a policy permitting such refusals.
- Federal agencies: Requires agency heads to avoid contracts with those firms but allows narrow waivers if no comparable provider exists within a 50-mile radius for a necessary service or if a parent company takes sufficient remedial action.
- Companies and corporate groups: Treats all companies in the same controlled group as a single entity for enforcement, so parent firms and subsidiaries are considered together for disqualification and waiver decisions.

Ban contracts with vendors who refuse officers
If enacted, the bill would bar federal agencies from contracting for certain services with entities that, in the prior year, refused service to a federal law enforcement officer because of the officer’s official duty or had a policy allowing such refusals. Covered services would include lodging, transportation, food and beverage, healthcare, vehicle rental, property rental, and storage. An agency head could waive the ban if no comparable provider exists within 50 miles for a necessary service, or if a parent company takes sufficient remedial action. Entities in the same controlled group or under common control would be treated as one entity, and "Federal agency" would mean the executive agency term in 41 U.S.C. §133. These rules would take effect on enactment.
