MARALAGO Act

HR 2593 (the MARALAGO Act) prohibits the U.S. Secret Service from using federal funds to pay a sitting or former President, or entities they control, for lodging, meals, office space, or other expenses incurred while protecting the President at their residence. It allows Presidents to instead gift these services to the Secret Service. The bill directly affects how the Secret Service finances protection costs at presidential residences, banning federal reimbursement for such expenses while permitting voluntary gifts. This creates a clear policy change regarding funding sources for Secret Service operations at presidential homes.
