To amend section 3056 of title 18, United States Code, with respect to Secret Service protection for former Presidents and their families.

Summary

Amends the Federal criminal code to authorize the U.S. Secret Service to protect former Presidents and their spouses (and the children of a former President who are under 16 years of age) for the first year after the former President leaves office, for each succeeding year until an advisory committee determines such protection no longer necessary, and thereafter at the request of the protectee for such periods, subject to the same annual review by the committee, as the committee determines that protection is appropriate. (Current law provides for lifetime protection for former Presidents and their spouses, except for termination of a spouses's protection upon remarriage (which still applies under this Act), but doesn't specify any time period for protection of such children.)
