S. 2542 — Federal Building Threat Notification Act

This section directs the Director of the Federal Protective Service, in coordination with the Secretary of Homeland Security, to develop and implement within 1 year guidance on emergency communications for Federal tenants in protected buildings regarding law enforcement-related events. The guidance must cover timely notifications of violent threats, including all firearm events and terrorism threats, within approximately 150 feet of the building perimeter, as well as safety instructions for immediate threats. It assigns implementation to each building's Facility Security Committee designated official, requires confirmation that every agency has such an official, mandates periodic testing of tenant crisis response capabilities, and requires submission of a report to Congress of no more than 10 pages plus a briefing, without authorizing additional funds.
