A bill to strengthen homeland security by expanding Urban Areas Security Initiative grant eligibility criteria to promote cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and to advance election security protections.

# Summary of S. 3920 **What the Bill Would Do** This bill proposes two main changes to federal security programs. First, it would modify the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI)—a federal grant program that funds security improvements in major cities—by adjusting eligibility requirements to encourage local cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Second, it would add new provisions aimed at strengthening election security protections, though the specific election security measures aren't detailed in the available bill information. **Who It Affects** The bill would primarily impact major urban areas that receive UASI grants, as well as local law enforcement and government agencies in those cities. It could also affect immigration enforcement operations in urban areas and election officials responsible for election security measures. **Current Status** As of now, S. 3920 remains in committee and has not advanced to a floor vote. The bill was introduced by Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) in the 119th Congress.
