Law

This bill would stop the government from doing business with companies that refuse to serve federal law enforcement officers. If a business denies an officer a room, a meal, or a rental car because of their job, that business could lose its federal contracts.
The rule applies to many types of services, including hotels, restaurants, transportation, healthcare, and storage. It also covers companies that have written policies allowing employees to turn away officers who are on duty.
A company could be banned for one year if they refuse service to an officer. If a large corporation owns several businesses, the entire group could be treated as one entity and lose their government contracts together.
There are some exceptions to this rule. A government agency can still work with a business if it is the only one providing a necessary service within 50 miles, or if a parent company takes action to fix the problem.
