United States Commission on an Open Society with Security Act of 2023

HR 5412 establishes a 21-member commission to study how to balance security in public spaces with open access to government buildings and facilities. The commission, appointed by the President and congressional leaders, will examine security practices, building design, technology, constitutional rights impacts, and international comparisons over two years. It will not create new laws but will produce a final report with recommendations for the President and Congress. The commission focuses on preserving democratic values like free speech and public access while addressing security challenges, with no direct impact on citizens or existing policies.
