Fugitive Safe Surrender Reauthorization Act of 2023
S 2640 reauthorizes an annual $10 million funding stream for the Fugitive Safe Surrender Program through fiscal year 2027. This program, administered by federal law enforcement, allows non-violent fugitives to surrender safely without immediate arrest, typically to avoid harsher penalties later. The bill directly affects U.S. law enforcement agencies managing the program and provides predictable funding for their operations. It does not change the program's eligibility rules or procedures, only extending existing funding levels for four consecutive fiscal years.
