The bill adds requirements for the Secretary of Homeland Security regarding candidate protection determinations and mandates Senate confirmation for the Director of the United States Secret Service.

  • 18 U.S.C. § 3056

    (h)(1) In the case that the Secretary of Homeland Security determines that any Presidential or Vice Presidential candidate requesting a protective detail or an increase in assigned protective detail resources is not eligible for such detail or increased resources for the purpose of this section, the Secretary shall submit to the candidate and the advisory committee, within 14 days after such a request is made, a written notice of the Secretary's determination, indicating the criteria that such candidate failed to meet for such purpose.

    This adds a requirement for the Secretary to notify candidates about the reasons for eligibility determinations regarding protective details.

  • 18 U.S.C. § 3056

    (2) Any Presidential or Vice Presidential candidate may submit to the Secretary of Homeland Security a written request to reconsider the determination described in paragraph (1), which may include facts to support that the criteria specified by the Secretary of Homeland Security have been met for the purpose of this section.

    This allows candidates to request a reconsideration of the Secretary's eligibility determination.

  • 18 U.S.C. § 3056

    (3) Not later than 14 days after a request for reconsideration is submitted under paragraph (2), the Secretary of Homeland Security shall review such request and submit to the Presidential or Vice Presidential candidate a written notice of the Secretary's final determination on whether the criteria have been met for the purpose of this section, and provide a copy of such final determination to the advisory committee.

    This mandates a timeline for the Secretary to respond to requests for reconsideration regarding protective details.

  • 18 U.S.C. § 3056

    (i) The United States Secret Service shall be headed by a Director, who shall be appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate.

    This establishes that the Director of the United States Secret Service must be confirmed by the Senate.
