Evidence

The committee's June 17, 2026 social post featuring Rep. Matt Van Epps says drones are a major national security threat and calls for more counter-drone technology at critical infrastructure sites and major events.

Recent Van Epps homeland-security posture is active and event-security focused, but this is not NTAS-specific legislation.

The Homeland Security Committee said its special-events task force had spent months holding hearings, securing security grants for host cities, and spearheading counter-drone legislation to protect the World Cup and future events.

This is concrete committee activity in the same homeland-security lane, but it does not show NTAS modernization.

The committee held a hearing on DHS's FY2027 budget request with the DHS Secretary and Deputy Secretary as witnesses.

Ongoing committee engagement with DHS, but the hearing does not identify any NTAS modernization action.

The provided evidence shows Rep. Matt Van Epps engaged on homeland security and event security issues during his current term, but it does not show that he wrote, sponsored, or materially advanced legislation specifically to modernize the National Terrorism Advisory System. It also does not show enactment of such a measure. Because the record here is NTAS-adjacent rather than NTAS-specific, there is not enough evidence to credit delivery or even a clearly documented failed attempt.
