AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill directs the Director of the Federal Protective Service, working with the Secretary of Homeland Security, to create and put in place guidance within one year on emergency communication to federal tenants in buildings the Service protects. The guidance must cover how to tell tenants in a timely way about violent threats in or within about 150 feet of a building, such as firearm events, weapons threats, terrorism threats, and suspicious devices, and how to give tenants safety instructions. Each building's Facility Security Committee designated official would carry out the guidance, and the Director must confirm each agency has such an official. The Director must also conduct periodic testing, send Congress a report of no more than 10 pages within one year, and brief Congress, with no additional funds authorized.
