This bill amends the Homeland Security Act to clarify what nonprofit organizations can use federal security grant money for. Specifically, it expands the Nonprofit Security Grant Program to explicitly allow nonprofits to hire onsite security personnel and off-duty police officers for protection. The bill also permits organizations to hire staff to help them apply for these grants, though such administrative costs cannot exceed 5 percent of the total grant amount. The legislation was introduced in September 2026 and affects nonprofit organizations seeking federal funding to improve their security measures. No specific funding amounts or implementation timelines are outlined in the bill text provided.
