Executive Order 14292 Act of 2025

This bill would turn Executive Order 14292—about improving the safety and security of biological research—into law. By doing this, the rules in that order would have the force and effect of law, not just an executive policy. The order was signed on May 5, 2025, and this bill’s main purpose is to lock those protections in place so they are more durable over time.

Key points:

• Who is affected: People and organizations involved in biological research, such as labs, universities, companies, and the federal agencies that oversee them.
• What changes: The executive order’s safety and security rules become law, making them stronger and harder to reverse.
• When: The executive order was signed May 5, 2025; this bill would apply it as law once enacted.
