H.R. 365, National Blue Alert Act of 2012
As ordered reported by the House Committee on the Judiciary on April 25, 2012 H.R. 365 would require the Department of Justice (DOJ) to establish a national communications network to issue alerts (that would be known as “blue alerts”) when a law enforcement officer is killed or seriously injured. The bill also would authorize the appropriation of $10 million annually for DOJ to make grants to states to cover costs relating to participation in the blue alert program.      H.R. 2764, WMD Intelligence and Information Sharing Act of 2011
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Homeland Security on March 28, 2012 CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 2764 would have no significant cost to the federal government. Enacting the legislation would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. S. 1763, Stand Against Violence and Empower Native Women Act.
As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs on December 8, 2011 S. 1763 would amend various laws and programs related to violence against Native American women. The legislation would expand grants to tribal governments and tribal coalitions for programs to strengthen criminal justice and law enforcement capabilities related to violence against women. Additionally, S. 1763 would expand penalties for certain violent crimes. |
