The House Concurrent Resolution, introduced by Representative Bayham, urges the Capitol Security Council to enhance the security screening devices and procedures at the state capitol. Recognizing the importance of public safety in a building frequented by officials, employees, school children, and tourists, the resolution highlights the discomfort caused by current security measures, such as metal detectors and personal searches, which often lead to long lines and a sense of unease among visitors.

The resolution calls for the adoption of modern security technologies that can effectively detect threats while facilitating a quicker and more respectful screening process. It mandates that the Capitol Security Council report its progress on these updates to the legislature by April 1, 2025, ensuring that all individuals visiting the state capitol can feel safe and treated with dignity. A copy of the resolution will be sent to the chairman of the Capitol Security Council and the presiding officers of the legislature.
