H. R. 8081

To terminate United States Secret Service protection for felons.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

April 19, 2024

Mr. Thompson of Mississippi (for himself, Mr. Carter of Louisiana, Ms. Lee of California, Ms. Wilson of Florida, Ms. Clarke of New York, Mrs. Watson Coleman, Ms. Crockett, Mrs. Beatty, and Mr. Cohen) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary

A BILL

To terminate United States Secret Service protection for felons.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the “Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable Former Protectees Act” or the “DISGRACED Former Protectees Act”.

SEC. 2. DENYING CERTAIN FELONS SECRET SERVICE PROTECTION.

Section 3056(a) of title 18, United States Code, is amended by striking “declined.” and inserting “declined.The protection authorized in paragraphs (1) through (8) shall terminate for any person upon sentencing following conviction for a Federal or State offense that is punishable for a term of imprisonment of at least one year.”.

So now as a convicted felon facing more than one year imprisonment, POTUS would no longer be eligible for SS protection detail, briefings, etc should this become law.
