House bill creating active shooter alert system doesn't pass
Fox News
A bill to establish a federal Active Shooter Alert Communications Network failed in the House on Wednesday, despite 44 Republicans voting in favor of passing it.
"Our House Democratic Majority will take up this legislation again and pass it — making clear that Democrats are on the side of protecting our families and supporting our courageous first responders," Pelosi said in a statement.
The bill would create a position within the Department of Justice known as the national coordinator of the Active Shooter Alert Communications Network. Acting in concert with the FEMA administrator, Transportation secretary, and FCC chair, the coordinator would make sure state and local governments have systems in place to respond to active shooter situations, and encourage them to develop alert systems so that local populations can be notified if there is a shooter nearby.
