To direct the Attorney General to identify and publish a list of 
anarchist jurisdictions, and for other purposes.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ``Stop Anarchists From Endangering

SEC. 2. IDENTIFICATION OF ANARCHIST JURISDICTIONS.

(a) Publication.--Not later than 14 days after the date of 
enactment of this Act, and updated not less than every 180 days 
thereafter, the Attorney General, in consultation with the Secretary of 
Homeland Security and the Director of the Office of Management and 
Budget, shall publish on the Department of Justice website a list 
identifying each anarchist jurisdiction.
(b) Considerations.--In identifying whether a State or unit of 
local government is an anarchist jurisdiction, the Attorney General, in 
consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security and the Director 
of the Office of Management and Budget, shall consider, as appropriate, 
whether a jurisdiction--
(1) has a policy or practice that prevents or restricts a 
law enforcement agency from intervening to restore order amid 
widespread or sustained violence or destruction;
(2) has prevented a law enforcement agency from policing a 
geographical area or structure that law enforcement officers 
are otherwise lawfully entitled to police, except in the case 
of a tactical decision to temporarily withhold law enforcement 
officers that is intended to resolve safely and expeditiously a 
specific and ongoing unlawful incident posing an imminent 
threat to the safety of individuals or law enforcement 
officers;
(3) has disempowered or defunded a law enforcement agency; 
or
(4) unreasonably refuses to accept offers of law 
enforcement assistance from the Federal Government.
(c) Guidance.--Not later than 30 days after the date of enactment 
of this Act, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget shall 
issue guidance to the heads of Federal agencies on restricting 
eligibility of, or otherwise disfavoring, to the maximum extent 
permitted by law, anarchist jurisdictions in the receipt of Federal 
grants that the agency has sufficient lawful discretion to restrict or 
otherwise disfavor anarchist jurisdictions from receiving.
(d) Anarchist Jurisdiction Defined.--In this Act, the term 
``anarchist jurisdiction'' means a State or unit of local government 
that has refused to take reasonable steps to stop acts of violence and 
destruction of property in that jurisdiction.
