Referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, and in addition to the Committee on Homeland Security, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.

Nonprofits could use federal grants to pay for security staff and grant application help.

This bill would clarify how religious organizations, community centers, and other nonprofits can use federal security grants. It would specifically allow federal grants to cover the cost of hiring security guards, including off-duty police officers. It would also help with the costs of applying for these grants. This means grant funds could be directly applied to protecting these spaces in new ways.

What Would Change

Today, federal security grants for nonprofits might not explicitly cover the cost of hiring security personnel or paying for help with grant applications. After this bill, nonprofits would clearly be able to use these grants to pay for onsite security staff, off-duty police officers, and up to 5% of the grant for application and administration costs.

Key Provisions

Lets nonprofits use federal security grants to hire onsite security personnel.
Lets nonprofits use federal security grants to hire off-duty police officers.
Lets nonprofits use federal security grants to pay for help applying for and managing the grants.
Caps the amount nonprofits can spend on grant application and management help at 5% of the grant.
