HR 9357 United States House · 118th Congress

AR–15 Perimeter Security Enhancement Act

This bill requires the Secret Service to expand security perimeters around protected locations to cover a 500-yard radius, matching the effective range of firearms like AR-15s and other high-caliber rifles. It mandates securing all elevated positions (such as rooftops) within that range to prevent potential threats. The Secret Service must submit a cost assessment within 60 days and detailed implementation reports to Congress every six months until compliance is verified. The bill directly affects Secret Service operational protocols for protecting individuals like the president, with no direct impact on the public or firearm ownership.
