Comprehensive Port Security Legislation Introduced
Rep. Dan Lungren (R-CA), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Economic Security, Infrastructure Protection, and Cybersecurity, and Rep. Jane Harman (D-CA), Ranking Member of the House Intelligence Committee, have introduced the "Security and Accountability For Every Port Act" (SAFE). If enacted the SAFE Port Act would:
- Require the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to conduct terrorist watch-list checks of all port employees with access to secure areas;
- Ensure 100 percent of containers are scanned for radiation
- Provide risk-based funding through a dedicated Port Security Grant Program to harden U.S. ports against terrorist attacks and enhance capabilities to respond to attacks and resume operations
- Require the Secretary of DHS to develop protocols for resuming trade after a
transportation security incident.
The text of the SAFE Port Act and comprehensive background information are
available at www.house.gov/chs. For more information, contact Curtis Whalen at: cwhalen@trucking.org. |
