Sen. Rick Scott is among GOP lawmakers trying to defund the IRS after the agency said it had a 22% reduction in funding.
Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., is urging Congress to reroute the billions of dollars earmarked for the IRS in the Inflation Reduction Act to hire armed officers for schools across the country.
Under the proposed School Guardian Act, there would be a trained law enforcement officer in every school across the country. It would create a block grant program administered by the U.S. Department of Justice to support the hiring of one or more law enforcement officers to provide full-time security at every K-12 school in the country.
Scott says he will work across the aisle with Republicans and Democrats to protect the safety of children at school.Collier County Sheriff Kevin Rambosk says he supports having a trained law enforcement officer on school grounds to protect and serve in case of an emergency. This bill is endorsed by Stand with Parkland, the Florida Sheriffs Association, and the Florida Police Chiefs Association.
The IRS is receiving $80 billion in funding from the Inflation Reduction Act passed by Congress last year. Of that amount, the Congressional Budget Office estimates that $60 billion will be spent on enforcement.
