To clarify the counting of electoral votes in Congress to be a National Special Security Event.

This bill reclassifies the congressional counting of presidential electoral votes as a National Special Security Event under existing federal law (specifically, under the Homeland Security Act of 2002). It directly affects Congress, the Capitol Police, and federal security agencies responsible for planning and executing security during the joint session. The key mechanism is adopting the pre-existing definition of "National Special Security Event" to ensure standardized security protocols are applied to this specific constitutional process. This change does not alter voting procedures but mandates that security planning for the event aligns with the same protocols used for other high-risk national gatherings.
