Secret Service Transfer Act of 2026
To establish the United States Secret Service within the Executive Office of the President.
HB8702 proposes to move the United States Secret Service from its current location to be part of the Executive Office of the President. This means the Secret Service would report directly to the President instead of being an independent agency. This bill aims to streamline operations and enhance coordination between the Secret Service and other presidential offices.
The bill would primarily affect the Secret Service and the Executive Office of the President, as well as anyone who interacts with these entities. By changing the Secret Service's organizational structure, the bill could alter how the agency operates and interacts with other government bodies.
As of May 7, 2026, HB8702 has been introduced in the House and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary and the Committee on Homeland Security. On May 8, 2026, it was further referred to the Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence for further review. The bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process and awaits further action from these committees.
