Bulletproof Law Enforcement Vehicles Act
This bill amends the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to authorize U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funds to cover bulletproof vehicle upgrades, including windows, for law enforcement agencies. It specifically adds a new provision (subsection (e)) allowing the use of existing financial assistance under Section 432 for these security enhancements. The policy change directly affects law enforcement agencies receiving DHS vehicle security funding, expanding eligible uses of those funds. It does not create new funding but clarifies that bulletproofing vehicles is now permitted under current program rules. The bill focuses on concrete eligibility changes for existing federal assistance programs.
