This bill establishes a new federal grant program, to be administered by the Director of the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) within the Department of Justice. The program aims to provide funding to State and local law enforcement agencies to combat auto theft and stolen vehicle trafficking. States applying for grants must demonstrate their need for assistance, document past actions to reduce auto theft, and outline a plan for using the funds, with priority given to States experiencing higher levels of auto thefts. Recipient States are required to distribute the grant funds, allocating at least 50 percent as competitive subgrants to local law enforcement agencies , prioritizing localities with higher auto theft rates. Additionally, at least 25 percent must go to State law enforcement agencies , with remaining funds flexibly distributed to either. Eligible activities for these funds include purchasing equipment like license plate readers, hiring and compensating law enforcement officers and support staff, providing specialized training, funding joint task forces, and supporting data collection and research related to auto theft, with a small portion allowed for administrative costs. To support these efforts, the bill authorizes an appropriation of $30,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2026 through 2030 for the new grant program. Beyond the new program, it also expands the authorized uses of existing COPS grant program funds. This expansion explicitly allows COPS grants to be used for combating auto thefts and stolen automobile trafficking through similar activities, such as equipment acquisition, personnel costs, training initiatives, and data collection.
