United States Commission on an Open Society with Security Act

H.R. 1365 would establish a national commission to study how the federal government can maintain high levels of security at public buildings and spaces without restricting the public’s ability to access them. The commission would be tasked with finding a balance between protecting government infrastructure from threats and preserving the openness and accessibility essential to a democratic society. For everyday citizens, this bill aims to ensure that security measures at federal sites do not become so restrictive that they prevent people from visiting public landmarks or engaging with their government.
