Local Law Enforcement Protection Act
HR 5264, the Local Law Enforcement Protection Act, requires states and local governments to certify they do not have laws providing less legal protection ("qualified immunity") to police officers than established in the *Saucier v. Katz* Supreme Court case (2001) in order to receive certain federal grants. It directly affects states and local governments applying for Community Development Block Grants (under the 1974 Housing Act) or specific rural development loans. The key provision mandates this certification be submitted with each grant application, linking eligibility to adherence with the federal standard on officer immunity.
