Federal Building Threat Notification Act

This bill requires the General Services Administration (GSA) and the Federal Protective Service (FPS) to develop and disseminate emergency communication guidance for building facility security committees to use in life safety events that threaten federal buildings owned and operated by GSA under the protection of FPS.
