To amend the National Security Act of 1947 to include school security as an element of the National Security Strategy, and for other purposes.

# HR 6964 Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would amend the National Security Act of 1947 to require that school security be included as part of the federal government's National Security Strategy. Essentially, it would make K-12 school safety an official component of national security planning and policy at the federal level, similar to how the government currently addresses other security concerns. **Who It Affects:** The bill would primarily affect schools across the country, federal security agencies responsible for developing national security strategy, and potentially Department of Education officials.

It could influence how federal resources, guidance, and coordination efforts related to school safety are developed and implemented. **Current Status:** The bill is currently in committee (has not yet been voted on by the full House) and has not advanced further in the legislative process. As of the information provided, there is no indication it has gained significant co-sponsorship or momentum toward passage. **Note:** The bill's specific provisions beyond its main purpose are not detailed in the information available, and there's limited public information about the full scope of changes it would require to existing security frameworks.
