H.R. 9394

Civil Preparedness for Agroterrorism Exercise Act of 2026

Homeland Security Committee · Rep. Dale Strong (R-AL)

The bill would require the Department of Homeland Security to conduct a practice exercise within four years to test how federal, state, and local agencies and private companies could work together to prevent, respond to, and recover from a terrorist attack on U.S. agriculture and food systems, using a scenario involving the release of a biological agent. Within six months of completing the exercise, the department would need to report its findings and recommendations to Congress.[AI-Generated]
