What this bill would do
The Federal Building Threat Notification Act directs the Administrator of General Services and the Director of the Federal Protective Service to create emergency communication guidance. This guidance is meant for building facility security committees to use during life safety events that threaten Federal buildings. These events include situations requiring first responders like law enforcement or fire and emergency rescue. The guidance must include standard operating procedures to inform tenants of threats and instructions for safety practices. Additionally, the Administrator of General Services is required to submit a report on these practices to Congress.
