HR 6150 United States House · 118th Congress

To amend the National Security Act of 1947 to include school security as an element of the National Security Strategy, and for other purposes.

HR 6150 amends the National Security Act of 1947 to require the inclusion of school safety strategies for elementary, secondary, and higher education institutions in the U.S. National Security Strategy. It mandates the Secretaries of Education and Homeland Security to conduct a threat assessment of schools nationwide, consult with state leaders, and submit a joint report to Congress within 180 days of enactment. The bill directly affects all public and private K-12 schools and colleges by requiring federal evaluation of security threats. Key provisions include the formal integration of school security into national strategy documents and a binding timeline for congressional reporting. The law focuses on establishing a systematic federal review process without specifying new funding or security measures.
