This bill establishes a "First-in-the-Nation Security Task Force" to coordinate security planning for presidential campaign events related to the 2028 election. The task force will consist of various members, including the commissioner of safety, the attorney general, and representatives from educational institutions and law enforcement agencies. Its responsibilities include developing statewide guidance for event security, establishing coordination protocols among law enforcement, identifying training needs, conducting outreach to student organizations, and producing a comprehensive security plan for the 2028 election cycle. The task force is required to meet quarterly and report its findings and recommendations to key legislative and state officials by specified deadlines.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision for the prospective repeal of the task force's section in the law, which will take effect on June 30, 2029. The fiscal impact of this legislation is estimated to be less than $10,000 for each fiscal year from 2026 to 2029. The Department of Safety will provide administrative support for the task force's activities.
