Requiring each full-time employee of the House of Representatives to complete active shooter training during each Congress, and for other purposes.
Impact
The bill is expected to enhance security protocols within the House of Representatives by equipping employees with the necessary skills to respond to potential active shooter situations. The training will include specific guidelines that are tailored to the different office environments, whether located in the Capitol or in district offices. Remote training options are also provided to ensure accessibility, highlighting a modern approach to employee training that takes into account diverse working conditions.
Summary
HR1393 is a resolution mandating active shooter training for all full-time employees of the House of Representatives. The resolution requires that each employee complete this training during each Congress, with the goal of improving safety and preparedness in case of such emergencies. The requirement is aimed specifically at full-time House staff, but it also encourages the training to be offered to other individuals working in House offices, such as interns and part-time employees, although not mandating it for them.
Contention
Notable points of contention surrounding HR1393 may include debates about the necessity and effectiveness of mandatory active shooter training. Some may argue that while training is important for employee safety, making it mandatory could be seen as an undue burden or could raise concerns regarding the overall environment in which employees work. Furthermore, discussions might arise about the adequacy of the training provided and how best to implement it without infringing on the varying needs and situations of House staff.
