HR 8702 United States House · 119th Congress

Secret Service Transfer Act of 2026

This legislation transfers the United States Secret Service from the Department of Homeland Security to the Executive Office of the President. Under the new structure, the agency will be led by a Director appointed by the President, while current officers and assets move with the organization. The bill allows the agency to maintain its current organizational roles initially but permits future reorganization to improve efficiency. All existing contracts, liabilities, and assets held by the Secret Service will automatically transfer to the new agency structure. The transfer of all authorities and functions must be finalized within one year after the law is enacted.
