Our local police force should not be subject to federalization, an action that wouldn't be possible for any other police department in the country.

This bill would establish a commonsense process to ensure that qualified nominees are not indefinitely delayed by Senate inaction.

Because there is no limit on how long personal information can be exploited, Congress must protect these federal employees and contractors in perpetuity.
