Key Points

This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security to provide more help and training to state, local, and tribal governments applying for security grants. These grants help communities prepare for and prevent terrorist attacks or other major emergencies.
FEMA must now conduct yearly surveys to see how well they are helping these local groups. They have to listen to feedback on how the grant process is working and explain how they are using that feedback to make things easier for applicants in the future.
The goal is to make sure that the money meant for city and state security actually gets to the people who need it without unnecessary confusion. By providing technical assistance before, during, and after grants are awarded, the government hopes to improve national safety.
Government watchdogs will check in after two years to make sure FEMA is actually doing a better job of supporting local partners. A full report on these improvements must be sent to Congress within three years.
