Bill Summary
AN ACT To direct the Secretary of Homeland Security to submit a plan to make Federal assistance available to certain urban areas that previously received Urban Area Security Initiative funding to preserve homeland security capabili- ties, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, the Homeland Security Capabilities Preservation Act, directs the Secretary of Homeland Security, through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Administrator, to submit a report to Congress proposing a plan to provide federal financial assistance to certain urban areas that previously received Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) funding. This assistance would be aimed at preserving homeland security capabilities related to preventing, preparing for, protecting against, or responding to acts of terrorism that were developed or supported through UASI grants but are now at risk of being reduced or eliminated without additional federal aid. The bill requires the report to include analysis on the feasibility of this approach and potential legislative changes to the UASI program to ensure urban areas can preserve these critical capabilities in the long term.
