“None of the funds made available to the United States Secret Service by this Act or by previous appropriations Acts may be made available for the protection of the head of a Federal agency other than the Secretary of Homeland Security.”

Making further consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, and for other purposes, Sec. 5

Section 222(a). Secret Service money, from this Act or an earlier one, may not be used to protect the head of a federal agency other than the Secretary of Homeland Security. Subsection (b) allows the Director to agree to provide such protection where the cost is fully reimbursed.

What the document actually says

“None of the funds made available to the United States Secret Service by this Act or by previous appropriations Acts may be made available for the protection of the head of a Federal agency other than the Secretary of Homeland Security.”

Making further consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, and for other purposes, Sec. 5
That sentence, in plain words

Secret Service money may not guard other agency heads. The one exception is the head of this one.

What this is about

Another agency may still ask for guards. But it has to pay the full cost back. Then the work may go ahead.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
