Rep. Matt Van Epps and Congresswoman Nellie Pou introduced the Modernizing and Improving the National Terrorism Advisory System Act, legislation to overhaul the National Terrorism Advisory System.
Support legislation to modernize and improve the National Terrorism Advisory System so warnings are clearer, more timely, and more useful to the public and first responders.
Occurrences
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.
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.
The committee held a hearing on DHS's FY2027 budget request with the DHS Secretary and Deputy Secretary as witnesses.
Assessments
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.
