HR 4602 United States House · 119th Congress

Countering Threats and Attacks on Our Judges Act

This bill establishes state-level judicial threat intelligence centers to improve safety for judges and court staff. It defines "eligible organizations" (nonprofits with judicial security expertise) and requires the State Justice Institute to fund these centers to provide security training, threat monitoring, coordinate with law enforcement, and develop standardized reporting systems. The centers will create resources for judicial officer safety, conduct security assessments, and track threats through a national database. State Justice Institute must submit annual reports detailing threat types and severity to congressional committees. The bill directly affects state and local judges, court staff, and the nonprofit organizations operating these centers.
