Plain Language Summary

# EAGLES Act of 2025 Summary **What the Bill Does:** The EAGLES Act of 2025 would reauthorize funding and operations for the National Threat Assessment Center (NTAC), a division of the U.S. Secret Service, through fiscal year 2030. Beyond simple reauthorization, the bill would expand NTAC's role to include new responsibilities focused on preventing targeted violence, with a specific emphasis on creating a national program dedicated to preventing school violence. **Who It Affects:** This legislation primarily impacts the Secret Service and federal law enforcement agencies working on threat prevention.

It also affects schools and communities nationwide, as the expanded school violence prevention program would likely involve coordination with educational institutions. Additionally, it relates to government employees and funding at the Department of Homeland Security. **Current Status:** The bill was introduced by Representative Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill addresses topics including law enforcement funding, government studies and investigations, and the use of social media and internet data in threat assessment work.
