In brief
The Securing the Cities Improvement Act requires the Department of Homeland Security’s Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office to establish specific performance metrics and milestones for its program to detect nuclear or radiological materials. The bill changes how the agency selects partner jurisdictions, replacing the current requirement to use high-risk urban area designations with a new system based on a city’s specific preparedness, threat level, and vulnerability to nuclear attacks. Within two years of enactment, the agency must report its progress and program changes to Congress. Introduced by Representative Troy Carter (D-LA), the bill passed the House and is currently under consideration in the Senate.
