The SAFE VISITS Act would require DHS to help state and local governments assess security risks from foreign visitors.
35-second read · 4 questions answered below
The bill requires DHS to produce yearly threat reports on high-risk government offices, trends in foreign visitor access requests, and ways to reduce security risks. When DHS identifies a likely target, it must share threat information, help vet visitors, offer safety guidance, and request a post-visit debriefing. DHS would also develop new technology to speed up sharing this security information.
This affects state, local, tribal, and territorial government employees and offices, especially those that host foreign delegations. DHS would take on new responsibilities to support these governments.
The measure could change how local governments prepare for and manage visits from foreign officials, potentially affecting security procedures at public buildings.
