This bill gives the Secretary of Homeland Security the power to temporarily extend liability protections for anti-terrorism technologies under the existing SAFETY Act (a 2002 law that shields companies from lawsuits for approved security products). The temporary extensions would be available through fiscal year 2029 for technologies whose protection periods are expiring, as long as companies submit renewal applications at least 165 days before their current protections end and the applications are complete. The bill clarifies that granting a temporary extension does not obligate the government to ultimately approve or deny the renewal application—it simply keeps protections in place while the review process continues. This measure affects security technology companies that rely on SAFETY Act protections and aims to prevent gaps in coverage during the renewal review process.
