Improving Federal Building Security Act of 2024

HR 8530, the Improving Federal Building Security Act of 2024, requires federal agencies managing buildings protected by the Federal Protective Service to form Facility Security Committees (FSCs). These committees must respond to security recommendations within 90 days, either accepting them or providing justification and cost-benefit analysis for rejection. The bill mandates annual reports to Congress tracking FSC compliance, justification for rejected recommendations, financial impacts, and risk mitigation efforts, with a separate report on surveillance technology use. The law expires after 5 years and requires a GAO effectiveness review at that time, with no new funding authorized. It applies to all federal buildings covered by the Federal Protective Service.
