This bill would make federal immigration agents show license plates on their vehicles. This applies when they use federal money for vehicles during immigration enforcement. The change would help the public easily see which government vehicles are being used.

This bill would require the Department of Homeland Security to create a plan to update the National Terrorism Advisory System. This means Americans could get clearer, more timely warnings about potential terrorism threats, and emergency responders would get better information to do their jobs. The plan would be developed within one year.

This bill, called the CLEAN-UP Act, would make it easier for the Army to clean up contaminated mud in rivers and lakes. It would protect the Army from certain legal risks when doing these projects. This protection applies as long as they follow a joint plan approved by the Environmental Protection Agency. This could lead to more clean-up efforts, benefiting communities near polluted water.

This bill would require the government to create a new electronic, searchable database for firearm transaction records. This database would help federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies trace firearms for investigations. It would also allow firearm dealers to submit records electronically or clear out old paper records.

This bill would require states to include new information in their regular reports on railroad safety. States would have to explain how they plan to work with railroads, mental health experts, and police to reduce pedestrian deaths, including suicides, near train tracks. These reports would be sent to the Federal Railroad Administration every five years.

Federal law enforcement officers would get full credit for unpaid overtime hours when their retirement pay is calculated. This bill would let them include premium pay that was previously capped, boosting their retirement annuities. They would need to make a payment or accept a smaller annuity upfront to do this.

This bill would make the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) report on how its basic training programs are certified. It would also require DHS to research ways for state, local, and Tribal police to more easily access federal training, especially in rural areas. This aims to improve how all levels of law enforcement respond to threats.
