What this bill would do
The Secret Service Transfer Act of 2026 aims to move the United States Secret Service into the Executive Office of the President. This includes transferring all functions, personnel, assets, and liabilities to the new location. A Director, appointed by the President, will lead the agency and oversee its administration. The current Director will continue in this role upon the act's enactment. The bill also allows the Director to reorganize the agency to increase efficiency and effectiveness. All transfer activities must be completed within one year of the act's enactment.
