HR 8093 United States House · 118th Congress

Countering Threats and Attacks on Our Judges Act

This bill creates a national network of State judicial threat intelligence and resource centers to enhance safety for State and local judges and court staff. It directs the State Justice Institute to fund eligible nonprofits with expertise in judicial security to establish these centers, which will provide safety training, conduct security assessments, monitor threats, coordinate with law enforcement, and develop standardized reporting systems. Centers must also create a shared database for tracking threats and incidents across jurisdictions. The bill requires an annual report to Congress detailing the number and types of threats faced by judges and court staff. It directly affects State and local courts, judges, and court personnel by strengthening security protocols and information sharing.
