This bill aims to restrict federal funding for states and urbanized localities that are deemed to have "defunded the police," establishing criteria for such a designation. It defines a "defunding State" as one that abolishes or disbands a state law enforcement agency or significantly reduces its budget without a corresponding decrease in overall revenues. Similarly, a "defunding locality" refers to an urbanized political subdivision that takes comparable actions regarding its police department, specifically excluding rural police departments. The legislation targets several key federal grant programs, making defunding jurisdictions ineligible for funds. These include various Economic Development Assistance Programs under the Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965, covering grants for public works, planning, and technical assistance. Additionally, defunding states and localities would be barred from receiving funds under the Community Development Block Grant Program . The bill also outlines consequences for jurisdictions that become defunding after receiving grants. Such states or localities would be required to return the federal amounts received. These returned funds would then be reallocated to other non-defunding localities or states, ensuring that federal assistance continues to support jurisdictions that maintain their law enforcement agencies.
