This bill officially renames the Secret Service's Uniformed Division to the Secret Service Police, a change in name only.

What it actually does

This bill renames the "United States Secret Service Uniformed Division" to the "United States Secret Service Police." It achieves this by systematically amending various sections across multiple titles of the U.S. Code, replacing all instances of the old name with the new one. The change is purely titular and does not alter the division's functions, authority, or operational structure.
