Federal Building Threat Notification Act

This section requires the Administrator of General Services (GSA) and the Director of the Federal Protective Service (FPS) to develop and distribute new guidelines for emergency communications. These guidelines are specifically for facility security committees in federal buildings managed by GSA and protected by FPS, to be used when 'life safety events' threaten the buildings or their occupants. The guidance must be developed within one year of the bill's enactment.

This part details what the emergency communication guidance must include: standard operating procedures for informing tenants about threats and instructions for safety practices in response to threats or heightened risk. It also clearly assigns responsibility for implementing this guidance to the designated official of the facility security committee for each individual federal building.

This section mandates that the Administrator of General Services submit a report to Congress within 18 months of the Act's enactment. The report must detail the best practices and protocols that have been implemented under the Act, providing an overview of how the new emergency communication guidance is being put into practice across federal buildings.
