Funding for threat assessment center

New national threat assessment center

If enacted, the Secret Service Director would have to report to several House and Senate committees within two years.

No Center funds for firearm training
If enacted, money made available to carry out this section could not be used to train any person in the use of a firearm. The bill also says this restriction does not change other laws that authorize firearms training.
