What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "EAGLES Act of 2025," seeks to reauthorize and expand the National Threat Assessment Center within the Department of Homeland Security. The Center will be operated by the United States Secret Service to focus on the prevention of targeted violence. A major component of the act is the establishment of a national program specifically for targeted school violence prevention. This program includes conducting research, providing training to various agencies, and developing evidence-based programs. The bill also allows for the hiring of specialized personnel to support these efforts. It includes an authorization of $10,000,000 for each fiscal year from 2026 through 2030.
