United States Secret Service Reserve Fund Act of 2026

In plain language: United States Secret Service Reserve Fund Act of 2026 This bill establishes the United States Secret Service Reserve Fund for the payment of expenses related to the protection of Presidents, their families, and other individuals designated under current law (including the salaries of employees who directly provide such protection) during a lapse in appropriations for the U.S. Secret Service (USSS). The bill also provides appropriations for the fund. The fund may only be used during the period that (1) begins on the date of a lapse in appropriations for the USSS, and (2) ends on the earlier of the date on which the lapse in appropriations ends or the date that is 30 days after the lapse began.  Under the bill, any amounts that remain in the fund and have not been used as of December 31, 2026, must be transferred to the Department of the Treasury and rescinded. The unused funds must be transferred by January 31, 2027.  The bill also requires the USSS to report to Congress on the uses of, and the transactions relating to, the reserve fund.
