This legislation, titled the "No Bounties on Badges Act," aims to deter acts of violence and intimidation against law enforcement officials by authorizing the Attorney General to offer rewards. It amends Title 18 of the U.S. Code, specifically section 3071, to allow for these awards. Rewards are available for information leading to the arrest or conviction of individuals who offer bounties or pecuniary compensation for harming or killing a law enforcement officer. This also extends to information concerning conspiracy or attempts to commit such acts, or information that leads to the prevention or frustration of these dangerous actions, thereby enhancing protection for officers.
