H.R.359 - Center to Advance, Monitor, and Preserve University Security Safety Act of 2013 (click here)
This is a bill sponsored by Representative Robert C. "Bobby" Scott. It is co-sponsored by Representative Frank R. Wolf, Elijah E. Cummings and Frank A. LoBiondo. It is related to three other bills already listed. There are no new related bills.
It was introduced to the Senate on January 23, 2013 and then referred to committee, It was referred to the Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, Homeland Security, And Investigations on February 28, 2013.
It has no amendments, but, it has another title:
CAMPUS Safety Act of 2013
Center to Advance, Monitor, and Preserve University Security Safety Act of 2013
There is a summary and is the House Bill as the CAMPUS act which I already read, but, this is a fairly short read, so I'll take a look at it.
Shown Here:
Introduced in House (01/23/2013)
Center to Advance, Monitor, and Preserve University Security Safety Act of 2013 or the CAMPUS Safety Act of 2013 - Amends the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to authorize the Attorney General to establish and operate, within the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, a National Center for Campus Public Safety.
Tasks the Center with strengthening the safety and security of institutions of higher education (IHEs) by: (1) training IHE public safety personnel and their collaborative partners; (2) fostering relevant research; (3) collecting and disseminating information and best practices regarding campus safety; (4) developing protocols and best practices to prevent, protect against, and respond to dangerous and violent situations that threaten the campus community; and (5) promoting cooperation among public safety and emergency management personnel of IHEs and their collaborative partners, including law enforcement, emergency management, and mental health agencies.
Authorizes the Attorney General to award grants to IHEs and other nonprofit organizations for activities that will assist the Center in performing its functions.
The reason this is the House equivalent of the CAMPUS bill in the Senate is because the CAMPUS bill incorporates Homeland Security as a collaborative agency. This bill is at the Homeland Security subcommittee. The Senate bill recognizes the focus of the authority of this bill.
This House bill is very specific where the authority lies in the Justice Department.
``(a) Authority To Establish and Operate Center.--
``(1) In general.--The Attorney General is authorized to establish and operate, within the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, a National Center for Campus Public Safety (referred to in this section as the `Center').
The wording is the same. The Senate bill is more expansive and elaborative than the House bill, but, the words are the same where the 'backbone' to the bill built.
It is a good bill and has exactly the same focus at the Senate CAMPUS bill.
