What it does
The bill tells two government agencies to write rules for how to warn people about threats. Each government building must follow these rules within 18 months. Building teams must tell workers about dangers and plan how to stay safe. Each building must report back to Congress about what it did.
Who it affects
People who work in government buildings will get the same kind of warning when there is a threat. Building teams must set up and follow the new rules.
One thing to notice
Government buildings must report their alert plans to Congress. These plans could become public records that anyone can ask to see.
