To amend title 28, United States Code, to transfer the United States Marshals Service to the judicial branch, and for other purposes.
The MARSHALS Act, also known as HB3607, proposes to move the United States Marshals Service from the Department of Justice to the judicial branch. This bill was introduced on May 23, 2025, and has been referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary for further review. If passed, this change could impact how the Marshals Service operates and is overseen, potentially affecting law enforcement and judicial processes across the country.
The bill would primarily affect the United States Marshals Service and the judicial branch. By transferring the service, the bill aims to enhance its role in supporting the federal judiciary. This could lead to changes in how certain law enforcement duties are carried out, particularly those related to protecting federal judges and courts.
Currently, the bill is in its initial stages, having been introduced and referred to the Judiciary Committee. The next steps involve committee review, possible amendments, and a vote in the House of Representatives. The bill's progress will be closely monitored to understand its potential impact on federal law enforcement and judicial operations.
