Annual reports on protective demands on Secret Service staff
The document says “shall”Who acts: Director of the United States Secret ServiceHow: statuteSec. 5 in the PDF
What the document says
“Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, and annually thereafter through 2028, the Director shall submit to the Committee on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate”
Section 226(c). Within 180 days of enactment, and each year through 2028, the Director must report to the Appropriations, Homeland Security, Oversight and Judiciary committees of both chambers on the steps the Secret Service is taking to address increased protective service demands on its personnel. Subsection (d) requires each report to analyze current operational demands and staffing levels and to recommend ways of reducing overtime, including hiring more people and redistributing workload.
What the document actually says
“Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, and annually thereafter through 2028, the Director shall submit to the Committee on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate”
That sentence, in plain words
Within 180 days the Director must report to Congress. The report is due again each year through 2028.
What this is about
The report looks at how much work agents carry. It must suggest ways to cut long hours. Hiring more people is one option it names.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against 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.
