Federal Building Threat Notification Act

# Federal Building Threat Notification Act Summary **What the Bill Would Do** The Federal Building Threat Notification Act would require federal agencies to notify building occupants and the public about credible threats to federal buildings. Currently, there is no standardized federal requirement for agencies to communicate threat information to people who work in or visit federal buildings, even when those threats are known to authorities. **Who It Affects & Key Provisions** This bill would primarily affect federal employees, visitors to federal buildings, and the general public. By establishing a notification requirement, the legislation aims to ensure that people have timely information about potential dangers so they can take protective actions.

The bill would create uniform standards across federal agencies for when and how threat information must be communicated. **Current Status** The bill (S 2542) was introduced in the 119th Congress by Senator Gary C. Peters (D-Michigan) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet advanced to a floor vote. It remains in the early stages of the legislative process.
