Civil Preparedness for Agroterrorism Exercise Act of 2026
To require the Department of Homeland Security to conduct an exercise related to agroterrorism, and for other purposes.
HB9394 proposes that the Department of Homeland Security conduct an exercise focused on preparing for and responding to agroterrorism. Agroterrorism involves attacks on agriculture or food supply, which could have significant impacts on public safety and the economy. The bill aims to ensure that the government is ready to handle such threats effectively.
This bill would primarily affect the Department of Homeland Security and related agencies by requiring them to organize and implement the exercise. It also indirectly impacts the public by enhancing the preparedness of the agencies responsible for national security.
As of June 23, 2026, the bill has been introduced and referred to the House Committee on Homeland Security. It passed a committee report on the same day it was introduced, signaling strong initial support. The next steps include further consideration in the House.
