This legislation, known as the "Secret Service Transfer Act of 2026," mandates the relocation of the United States Secret Service to the Executive Office of the President . This comprehensive transfer includes all existing functions, personnel, assets, and liabilities of the Service. A Director of the Service will be appointed by the President to oversee its administration, with the incumbent Director continuing in their role. Initially, the agency's organizational structure, roles, and functions will be maintained as they existed prior to the transfer. The bill ensures the continuation of service for all officers and components, preserving their compensation and conditions. While the Director may later reorganize the agency to maximize efficiency and operational effectiveness, any such changes must comply with Federal laws. Furthermore, all contracts, assets, and liabilities of the Secret Service will be assumed by the newly transferred Service. The Act stipulates that all activities related to this transfer of authorities and functions must be finalized within one year of its enactment.
