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 can lead to long wait times and feelings of being singled out.

The resolution calls for the adoption of modern security technologies that can effectively detect threats while ensuring a more efficient and respectful screening process for all visitors. It mandates that the Capitol Security Council report its progress on these updates to the legislature by April 1, 2025, and directs that copies of the resolution be sent to relevant officials, including the chairman of the Capitol Security Council and the presiding officers of the legislature.
