Federal Halo Act establishes a safety buffer zone to protect Federal law enforcement officers from obstruction and harassment.

The Federal Halo Act amends title 18 of the United States Code to create a safety buffer zone around Federal law enforcement officers engaged in lawful duties. It prohibits individuals from approaching or remaining within 15 feet of such officers after receiving a verbal warning not to approach. Violation of this provision is punishable by fines, imprisonment for up to five years, or both. The act defines "harass" as knowingly engaging in conduct that causes substantial emotional distress to a Federal law enforcement officer and serves no legitimate purpose.
