This bill aims to make security at federal buildings safer and more reliable. It tells the Federal Protective Service (FPS) to set up better ways to test and track the work of contract security guards, including regular reviews of covert (secret) test results, required retraining after failures, and updated training to address new threats. FPS must report how this is going to Congress once the steps are in place and then every year .
The bill also makes FPS review and possibly replace its system for tracking guard shifts and coverage within 180 days. FPS must create a plan with a timeline and make sure building tenants get quick, accurate notices when there are guard shortages or gaps in coverage, and report on this each year for three years. The bill does not turn contract guards into federal employees.
