What this bill would do

The MARSHALS Act proposes to transfer the United States Marshals Service from its current placement to a bureau within the judicial branch of the United States. Under this plan, a Director would be appointed by the Chief Justice in consultation with a new Board to oversee the Service. This Board would consist of the Chief Justice, the Judicial Conference of the United States, and the Director. The bill also changes how marshals are appointed and how they serve their terms. Additionally, it modifies the process for providing personal protection and assisting in various law enforcement matters.
