Local Law Enforcement Support Act of 2026
To expand funding opportunities for local law enforcement, and for other purposes.
The Local Law Enforcement Support Act of 2026 aims to increase funding for local law enforcement agencies, enhancing their ability to serve and protect communities. This bill, introduced on April 28, 2026, by Representative Ann Wagner, with co-sponsors Mike Kelly, Don Bacon, John Rutherford, James Baird, Tracey Mann, Mike Flood, Mark Alford, Michael Lawler, and Jeff Hurd, seeks to provide additional financial resources to local police departments.
This bill would primarily affect local law enforcement agencies by offering them more funding to support operations, training, and equipment. The goal is to improve public safety and support the men and women who serve in local law enforcement roles. By enhancing the capabilities of these agencies, the bill hopes to lead to safer communities.
As of the last update, the bill has been introduced in the House and referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary. This is the first step in the legislative process, and the committee will now review the bill, potentially holding hearings and making amendments before it moves forward.
