This bill, known as the "SAFE Cities Act," mandates the Attorney General to identify and publish a list of "anarchist jurisdictions." These are defined as State or local governments that have refused to take reasonable steps to stop acts of violence and destruction of property within their jurisdiction. The Attorney General, in consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security and the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, must publish this initial list within 14 days and update it every 180 days. When identifying these jurisdictions, considerations include whether a jurisdiction has policies preventing law enforcement intervention, has disempowered or defunded law enforcement, or unreasonably refuses federal law enforcement assistance. Finally, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget will issue guidance to federal agencies on restricting or disfavoring these identified jurisdictions from receiving federal grants, to the maximum extent permitted by law.
