Secret Service Security Enhancement: Expanding Perimeters to Match Rifle Firing Range.

This Act mandates the Secret Service to expand security perimeters around protected individuals. The new rules require these zones to cover a radius of at least 500 yards, matching the effective firing range of rifles like the AR-15. The goal is to enhance public and protectee safety by securing all elevated positions within this radius, such as rooftops and balconies, which could pose a threat.
Key points
Expanded Security Perimeters: The Secret Service must extend the security perimeter to a minimum of 500 yards, corresponding to the effective firing range of rifles used in potential assassination attempts.
Securing Elevated Positions: All elevated locations (e.g., rooftops, balconies) within the 500-yard range must be secured to prevent unauthorized access and potential threats.
Reporting Requirement: The Secret Service Director must provide Congress with a cost assessment for implementation and submit regular progress reports.
