The bill requires cities to maintain public safety during periods of unrest, protect property, and cooperate with federal authorities. Failure to comply may result in the withholding of certain federal funds. The bill seeks to ensure that cities take appropriate measures to safeguard citizens and property during times of civil disorder.
