No Bounties on Badges Act

# No Bounties on Badges Act (HR 7114) Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** The No Bounties on Badges Act would make it a federal crime to offer rewards or "bounties" for harming, killing, or kidnapping law enforcement officers.

The bill was introduced by Representative Tim Moore (R-NC) in the 119th Congress. No further action has been taken at this time.
