Limit state uniform rules for federal officers

The bill would block states from setting any rules about what uniforms federal law enforcement officers must wear. It would apply to officers covered by 18 U.S.C. 115(c) and would also include officers or employees who enforce immigration laws. If a state case about a conflicting uniform rule is pending on the day this becomes law, that case would stop. If enacted, this would take effect upon enactment.
