2Improved data collection and performance accountability
This section would require the Director of the Federal Protective Service, not later than 1 year after the Act becomes law, to establish processes that strengthen oversight, performance, and accountability of contract security personnel who protect buildings and grounds owned, occupied, or secured by the General Services Administration's Public Buildings Service. In carrying this out, the Director would have to set standards for collecting, maintaining, and analyzing covert testing data, including a comprehensive and uniform method for documenting test outcomes, identifying the root causes of failures, and categorizing the types of vulnerabilities detected. The Director would have to begin conducting quarterly analytical reviews of that covert testing data to identify trends, recurring deficiencies, and opportunities for operational improvement across all covered facilities. The Director would have to establish a mandatory, cause-specific corrective training and performance improvement plan for any contract security personnel who fails a covert test. The Director would also have to develop updated security training guidance for contract security personnel that reflects findings from covert testing data, emerging threats, and best practices. Upon completing these activities, and annually after that, the Director would have to submit to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs a report on how this section is being implemented, including any challenges identified and recommendations for additional legislative action.

Based on that evaluation, the Director would have to determine whether to replace the system with a more reliable personnel tracking platform, including private sector solutions, or instead implement corrective technical, operational, or administrative fixes to improve the existing system. The Director would then have to develop and publish an implementation plan that includes a timeline for completing the system replacement or corrective actions, and procedures to ensure timely and accurate communication to building tenants about contract security personnel shortages, absences, or security coverage gaps. Not later than 1 year after enactment, and annually after that for 3 years, the Director would have to submit to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs a report that includes the determination made about replacing or fixing the system, a detailed summary of any implementation actions taken, an evaluation of how effective the tenant communication protocols have been, and any recommendations for additional legislative or administrative action.
