This amendment, submitted by Mr. Grassley, aims to add Counter-UAS Authority to the Homeland Security Act of 2002. Its purpose is to give the Marshal of the Supreme Court and authorized security personnel the power to detect, identify, monitor, or track unmanned aircraft systems that pose a credible threat to the safety or security of the Chief Justice or any Associate Justice.
