Updated: Feb 4, 2026

Summary

This bill establishes a dedicated fund, titled the United States Capitol Police Reserve Fund , to maintain the operational continuity of the United States Capitol Police during periods when government appropriations lapse. The fund's primary purpose is to cover the salaries of employees and necessary expenses of the USCP, ensuring they can continue their duties without interruption. An initial sum of $50,000,000 is appropriated from the Treasury to capitalize this reserve fund. The Chief of the Capitol Police, with the explicit approval of the Capitol Police Board, is authorized to draw upon these funds exclusively during a lapse in appropriations. To ensure fiscal accountability, any funds remaining in the reserve as of December 31, 2026, that were not utilized for the specified purposes must be transferred back to the Secretary of the Treasury by January 31, 2027, and subsequently rescinded. Furthermore, the Chief of the Capitol Police is mandated to submit a comprehensive report to relevant congressional committees detailing all uses and transactions related to the fund.
