This bill prohibits state and local law enforcement agencies from using funds received through federal equitable sharing programs to investigate or prosecute the President, Vice President, a former President or Vice President, or a candidate for the office of President. These agencies must certify their compliance with this prohibition to the Attorney General. The legislation specifies that funds obtained from federal asset forfeiture statutes, such as the Controlled Substances Act or titles 18 and 28 of the U.S. Code, are subject to this restriction. Failure to comply will result in the Attorney General disqualifying the non-compliant agency from receiving any future forfeited property or proceeds from the federal government.
