The resolution urges Congress to pass the Presidential Security Resources Reimbursement Act of 2024, which aims to reimburse state and local governments for public safety expenses incurred during visits by major presidential and vice-presidential candidates. It highlights the importance of the Secret Service's role in ensuring the safety of these candidates and the necessity for effective collaboration with state and local authorities. The resolution references a recent assassination attempt on a former president, underscoring the ongoing need for robust security measures during election campaigns.

The resolution emphasizes that while New Jersey municipalities are committed to supporting the Secret Service in maintaining public safety, the financial burden of providing necessary services, personnel, and equipment can be significant. By enacting the Presidential Security Resources Reimbursement Act of 2024, the federal government would authorize the Secretary of Homeland Security to reimburse state and local governments for their contributions to public safety during these high-profile events. This funding would enable better cooperation with the Secret Service and enhance security measures for candidates and the public alike.
