Summary

Authorizes the Attorney General to pay rewards to people who provide information about offers of bounties or other payments to harm or kill federal law enforcement officers. Rewards may be paid when information leads to an arrest or conviction for committing, conspiring, or attempting such an act, or when it helps prevent or stop the act. Also updates a chapter heading and makes a clerical change to the table of chapters in the federal criminal code. The text creates an authority to pay rewards but does not appropriate money or set detailed procedures or deadlines.
