A BILL

To provide for a limitation on application of State laws with regard to 
law enforcement uniform requirements.

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 ``Uniform Standards Protection Act of 
2025''.

SEC. 2. LIMITATION ON APPLICATION OF STATE LAWS WITH REGARD TO LAW 
ENFORCEMENT UNIFORM REQUIREMENTS.

Notwithstanding any provision of State law, no requirement may be 
imposed under State law regarding the wearing of a uniform by any 
Federal law enforcement officer. For purposes of this section, the term 
``Federal law enforcement officer'' has the meaning given such term in 
section 115(c) of title 18, United States Code, and includes any 
officer or employee of the United States with responsibility for 
enforcing the immigration laws (as such term is defined in section 101 
of the Immigration and Nationality Act). In the case of any proceeding 
against a Federal law enforcement officer pending as of the date of 
enactment of this Act for a violation of any State law that is contrary 
to this section, such proceeding may not continue thereafter.
