Forwarded by Subcommittee to Full Committee by Voice Vote.
This bill moves a Department of Homeland Security program that helps state and local police identify and prevent targeted violence threats. It shifts the program from the intelligence side of DHS to the office that works directly with local law enforcement, and it changes how the program gets its money from intelligence funds to non-intelligence funds. If this passes, the program keeps doing the same work but under different management and with different funding.
A federal program that helps local police identify and stop potential mass violence threats , like school shootings or domestic terrorism , could face a funding gap during its reorganization, potentially leaving communities with less protection during the transition.
