EAGLES Act of 2025
Summary
The EAGLES Act of 2025 would reauthorize the National Threat Assessment Center (NTAC), a division within the U.S. Secret Service, extending its authority and funding through fiscal year 2030. Currently under committee consideration in the Senate, the bill would expand NTAC's responsibilities beyond its existing functions to include additional activities focused on preventing targeted violence.
A key component of the expanded authority would be the establishment of a national program dedicated to preventing targeted school violence. If enacted, this would give the Secret Service a formal mandate and resources to coordinate efforts across federal, state, and local agencies to identify and intervene in potential threats to schools. The practical effect would be to strengthen the government's institutional capacity to assess threats and work with schools and law enforcement on violence prevention strategies.
As the bill remains in the early stages of the legislative process, it has not yet been voted on by the full Senate. Any changes to the bill's scope or provisions could occur during committee review before it advances for a full chamber vote.
