Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
This bill (EAGLES Act of 2025) establishes and reauthorizes a National Threat Assessment Center within the U.S. Secret Service to research, train, consult, and coordinate on preventing targeted violence, with a specific national program for targeted school violence prevention. It authorizes $10 million annually for fiscal years 2026–2030, requires hiring specified expertise, prohibits use of funds for firearms training, mandates a report to Congress within two years, and sunsets September 30, 2030.
Progressives emphasize civil‑rights and anti‑criminalization concerns
Narrow, low-cost, administrative school-safety bill with bipartisan appeal likely to clear House committee and floor relatively easily.
