Bill > S2379

This bill amends the State Justice Institute Act of 1984 to create a State Judicial Threat Intelligence and Resource Center, which would be a national program to enhance judicial security. The bill defines an "eligible organization" as a national nonprofit with expertise in judicial security, courthouse design, and court operations. The new resource center would be responsible for providing technical assistance and training on judicial safety, monitoring threats to judges and court staff, coordinating with law enforcement agencies, developing standardized incident reporting practices, creating a national database to track threats against judicial officers, and coordinating research on judicial security best practices. Additionally, the State Justice Institute would be required to submit an annual report to Congressional judiciary committees detailing the number, types, and severity of threats to state and local judges and court staff. The goal of this legislation is to improve the safety and protection of judicial personnel across different court systems, including trial, appellate, rural, and limited-jurisdiction courts at state and local levels.
