HR 5884 United States House · 118th Congress

To provide members of the President's Cabinet an allowance to acquire security equipment and services for the personal residences of such members, and for other purposes.

HR 5884 establishes a reimbursement program for eligible Cabinet members to cover costs of security equipment (like cameras, door locks, and motion sensors) and monthly security services at their personal residences. It caps initial equipment installation at $10,000 per member and ongoing monthly costs at $150. The allowance applies to 18 specific officials, including all Cabinet Secretaries and agency heads (e.g., Secretary of Defense, Attorney General), and requires applicants to submit requests to the U.S. Secret Service. Reimbursements under this program are excluded from federal income tax.
