Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 4 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Reimburse privacy services for officers
If enacted, agencies could use salaries-and-expenses funds in fiscal year 2026 and later to reimburse a covered employee for up to 100% of documented privacy-enhancing service costs. Reimbursement would require the employee to submit the documentation the agency reasonably requires. The reimbursement depends on agency appropriations and only applies to covered employees as defined in the bill.
Immigration officers must show ID
If enacted, covered immigration officers and any officers directly supporting enforcement would have to visibly display their last name, another unique ID, the employing agency name, and their face during public enforcement functions. Exceptions would allow undercover cover identities, planned high-risk tactical operations by trained personnel, and situations requiring face coverings under 29 C.F.R. §1960.10(b).
Who counts as a covered employee
If enacted, the bill would define key terms used elsewhere. It would say who counts as an agency, a covered immigration officer, and a covered employee. It would list which public-facing enforcement actions are included and exclude covert, nonpublic operations. It also defines what qualifies as privacy-enhancing services for reimbursements.
Protect press reporting and disclosures
If enacted, the bill would not stop lawful press investigations or reporting about alleged misconduct by covered employees. It would not limit lawful disclosures about covered employees or their immediate family on matters of public concern. It also would not prevent information that a covered employee or their employer voluntarily publishes online after enactment.
