Subsection
(a)of section 875 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 ( 6 U.S.C. 455 ) is amended to read as follows: The Department shall have a seal, the design of which shall be subject to the approval of the President. Except with the written permission of the Secretary, no person may knowingly use the seal, or any colorable imitation thereof, of the Department in a manner reasonably calculated to convey the impression that the Department or any organizational component or element of the Department has approved, endorsed, or authorized such use. Nothing in this subsection may be construed to restrict the use of the seal of the Department by officers and employees of the Department in their course of their official duties. Notwithstanding paragraph (1), nothing in this subsection renders unlawful the use of any seal of the Department the design of which was lawful as of the date of the enactment of this subsection. .
