Focus on Protection Act
HR 9358, the Focus on Protection Act, transfers the U.S. Secret Service's investigations of payment system crimes - including counterfeiting, credit/debit card fraud, and financial cybercrimes - to the Department of the Treasury. This shift allows the Secret Service to refocus solely on protecting the President, Vice President, their families, and visiting heads of state. The bill mandates the transfer of relevant personnel, assets, and funding, with Treasury taking over these duties while ensuring uninterrupted operations. It takes effect 180 days after enactment.
