HR 3425 United States House · 119th Congress

Personnel Oversight and Shift Tracking Act of 2025

This bill requires the Federal Protective Service to improve oversight of contract security guards protecting buildings owned or secured by the General Services Administration. It mandates standardized collection and analysis of covert testing data (simulated security breaches), quarterly reviews to identify recurring issues, and mandatory corrective training for guards who fail tests. The bill also directs an evaluation of the current personnel tracking system within 180 days, requiring a decision on replacement or upgrades with a public implementation plan. Annual reports to Congress will detail progress, system effectiveness, and tenant communication protocols for security coverage gaps.

What changed between versions

Introduced in House Engrossed in House · 2 edits · Sep 8, 2025
MINOR
The engrossed version shifts responsibility for corrective training from the Federal Protective Service Director to the private security contractor, making the Director's role one of oversight and review rather than direct establishment of training plans. A new savings clause was added to clarify that contract security personnel are not federal employees, preventing the Act's oversight requirements from being interpreted as changing their employment status.
REQUIREMENT

Section 2(b)(3) was changed so that the FPS Director no longer directly establishes corrective training and performance improvement plans for contract security personnel who fail covert tests. Instead, the Director must direct the security contractor to establish those plans, and the Director's role becomes reviewing the contractor's plan to ensure it is adequate to prevent future failures.

SCOPE

A new Section 4 (Savings clause) was added stating that nothing in the Act designates a contractor employee engaged in protection of Federal property under section 1315 of title 40 as a federal employee. This clarifies that the oversight requirements do not change the employment classification of contract security personnel.
