AI Summary

This bill, the Active Shooter Alert Act of 2022, aims to create an "Active Shooter Alert Communications Network" - an interconnected system of federal, state, tribal, and local governments to provide information to the public on active shooter situations. It establishes the "Active Shooter Alert Coordinator" within the Department of Justice to encourage the adoption of best practices for issuing alerts, coordinating communications plans, and training transportation authorities. The bill also requires a study by the Comptroller General on state responses to active shooter situations requiring public alerts and warnings. The bill authorizes $2 million for fiscal year 2023 to carry out these provisions and includes a limitation on liability for participating agencies.
