The GUARD Act would strengthen law enforcement's ability to prevent and respond to crimes, likely by expanding investigative tools, increasing penalties for certain offenses, or providing additional resources to police departments and prosecutors. The bill affects how criminal cases are handled in the justice system and could impact both public safety efforts and individuals accused of crimes. It is currently under review by the Senate Judiciary Committee.
