To limit the provision of support by the Armed Forces to civilian law enforcement activities.

This amendment, submitted by Ms. Duckworth, aims to add a new section (Sec. 1067) to the bill to limit how the Armed Forces provide support to civilian law enforcement activities.

The purpose is to require the President to submit a notification and written justification to Congress before the Secretary of Defense can provide certain types of support. This justification must include:

• The agency receiving the support.
• The budget, timeline, delivery schedule, and completion date.
• Where the funds are coming from and how they will be spent.
• Details on how the project will be sustained and the funding for it, if applicable.
• The objectives and the framework used to evaluate performance and operational outcomes.
• Information on the amount, type, and purpose of support given to that agency in the three previous fiscal years.

Additionally, the amendment limits the timing of this support. The Secretary of Defense cannot provide support for more than 30 days unless Congress passes a specific joint resolution of approval titled A joint resolution approving the provision by the Department of Defense of support to civilian law enforcement for a period of more than 30 days.
