HR 5918 United States House · 119th Congress

Protect Law Enforcement Task Forces Act

This bill reauthorizes and structures the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF), a long-standing federal program established in 1982. It requires the Attorney General, working with specific agencies (Treasury, DHS, USPS, Labor, and State), to maintain the existing prosecutor-led, multi-agency approach for combating transnational crime and drug trafficking. The bill mandates a joint report to Congress within one year detailing the task forces' successes and requires this report to be publicly posted online, with minimal classified material. The program is set to expire on January 20, 2029, unless reauthorized.
