Bill Summary
AN ACT To direct the Administrator of General Services and the Director of the Federal Protective Service to establish guidance relating to emergency communication protocols for public buildings, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the Federal Building Threat Notification Act, requires the Administrator of General Services and the Director of the Federal Protective Service to create and share guidelines for emergency communication in federal buildings. These guidelines, which must be developed within one year of the bill's enactment, will help building facility security committees manage "life safety events," which are defined as situations requiring the response of first responders like law enforcement, firefighters, and emergency rescue personnel. The guidance will outline standard procedures for informing building occupants about threats and provide instructions on safety practices during such threats or periods of heightened risk. The designated security official for each federal building will be responsible for implementing these protocols, and the Administrator of General Services will report to Congress on the implemented practices within 18 months of the bill's enactment.
