This bill introduces new requirements concerning the protection of Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates and the leadership of the United States Secret Service. A key provision mandates that if the Secretary of Homeland Security denies a candidate's request for a protective detail or increased security resources, a written justification detailing the unmet criteria must be provided to the candidate and an advisory committee within 14 days. Candidates are granted the right to submit a written request for reconsideration , which the Secretary must review and issue a final determination on within 14 days. Furthermore, the bill stipulates that the Director of the United States Secret Service, who heads the agency, must be appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate , thereby requiring Senate confirmation for this position.
