United States Commission on an Open Society with Security Act of 2026

This bill establishes the United States Commission on an Open Society with Security to study how to balance public safety with free access to federal buildings and spaces. The 21-member commission will include experts from diverse fields such as architecture, civil liberties, and engineering, appointed by the President and congressional leaders. Its primary task is to examine security practices, building design, and the impact of counterterrorism measures on civil rights and economic factors without restricting public access. The commission will hold hearings, review classified information, and submit a final report with recommendations to the President and Congress within two years of its initial meeting.
