This summary can be found at http://www.gop.gov/bill/113/1/hr2922.
Background
Established in 1949, the Supreme Court Police are responsible for providing security services and protection for justices, staff, and official guests of the Court off and on the grounds of the Supreme Court. The current authority for the Supreme Court Police to provide security services ends December 29, 2013.
Summary
H.R. 2922 extends, for six years, the long-standing authority of the Supreme Court Police to provide protection for court officials away from the Supreme Court building through December 29, 2019.
Cost
CBO estimates that implementing the legislation would have no significant impact on the federal budget.[1]
House Democratic Caucus Summary
The House Democratic Caucus does not provide summaries of bills.
So, yes, we display the House Republican Conference’s summaries when available even if we do not have a Democratic summary available. That’s because we feel it is better to give you as much information as possible, even if we cannot provide every viewpoint.
We’ll be looking for a source of summaries from the other side in the meanwhile.
