By requiring reimbursement, the bill aims to alleviate the financial burden placed on States and local governments when providing support to the Secret Service.
In addition to reimbursement for services, personnel, equipment, and facilities, the bill also addresses other purposes related to the collaboration between the Secret Service and States and local governments. This includes clarifying the process for requesting reimbursement, establishing guidelines for determining the appropriate reimbursement amount, and ensuring transparency and accountability in the reimbursement process.
Overall, the United States Secret Service Reimbursement Act aims to promote cooperation and mutual support between the Secret Service and States and local governments, while also ensuring that States and local governments are fairly compensated for the resources they provide.
