Show full summary
  • Would let Congress terminate a particular troop deployment by passing a joint resolution of disapproval that names the location, the legal authority cited, the prohibited actions, and how long the ban would last. This mechanism would apply to actions under both 18 U.S.C. § 1385 and 10 U.S.C. § 12406.
  • Would provide $900 million in new FY2026 emergency funding for state and local law enforcement, covering Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grants, community violence intervention, emergency assistance, and hiring grants.
  • Would bar the new funds from being used to assign Federal law enforcement to states or localities and allows the President to direct up to $10 million per law enforcement emergency with the State Chief Executive’s approval.

*Designates $900 million in FY2026 emergency appropriations for state and local law enforcement.*

Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Congress can block troop deployments

If enacted, the bill would create a formal joint resolution of disapproval that lets Congress end any exception to the Posse Comitatus Act or terminate certain troop activations. The resolution would need specific language naming the authority, location, prohibited actions, and duration. Only designated leaders could introduce the measure, and Armed Services committees would get expedited referral and a quick discharge if they do not act. The bill would set fast floor rules, limit debate, waive some points of order, include severability, and bar courts or agencies from inferring congressional intent from inaction on such resolutions.

More funding for state and local police

If enacted, the bill would provide new FY2026 appropriations for state and local law enforcement. It would add $600 million for Byrne JAG grants, $150 million for community violence intervention grants, $100 million for hiring and rehiring career officers, and $50 million for emergency law enforcement assistance. The President could use up to $10 million per declared law enforcement emergency only with the State chief executive's approval. The bill would bar using any of these funds to pay for assigning federal law enforcement officers to states or localities. It would also treat the amounts as emergency funding for FY2026 budget enforcement.
