Under Color of Law Accountability Act

Summary

Places a new criminal provision called the "Under Color of Law Accountability Act" into Part I of Title 18 of the U.S. Code and updates the Title 18 chapter table to include a new chapter entry. The measure only sets the short title and directs where new statutory language should be inserted; it does not include the text of any offense, definitions, penalties, funding, agencies, deadlines, or compliance requirements, so it creates no immediate substantive change in law by itself.

• Creates a short title for the measure: the Under Color of Law Accountability Act.
• Directs placement of a new statutory provision into Part I of Title 18, U.S. Code, after 18 U.S.C. § 1623.
• Inserts a new chapter entry into the Title 18 chapter table after the existing chapter following chapter 79.
• Does not include the operative text of any new offense, definitions, penalties, or enforcement mechanisms.
• Does not authorize spending, assign agency responsibilities, or set implementation deadlines.
• Has no immediate substantive legal effect until the actual statutory language is provided and enacted.
• Functions as an organizational or preparatory change to the U.S. Code rather than a substantive criminal-law change.
