HR 9397 United States House · 118th Congress

COP Act of 2024

HR 9397, the COP Act of 2024, prohibits federal funding for any law enforcement agency that employs a non-citizen as a law enforcement officer. This directly affects local and state police departments that hire non-citizen officers, as they would lose access to federal grants and resources. The key mechanism is a funding cutoff: federal money cannot be provided to agencies meeting this criterion. The bill does not ban hiring non-citizens but restricts federal financial support for such agencies.
