H.R. 3425: Personnel Oversight and Shift Tracking Act of 2025

The bill titled the "Personnel Oversight and Shift Tracking Act of 2025" aims to improve the oversight and accountability of contract security personnel responsible for protecting buildings and grounds owned or secured by the General Services Administration (GSA). The key components of the bill include:

1. Improved Data Collection and Performance Accountability

Within one year of the bill being enacted, the Director of the Federal Protective Service is required to:

• Establish standards for collecting, maintaining, and analyzing covert testing data related to contract security personnel.
• Conduct quarterly reviews of covert testing data to identify trends and recurring deficiencies in security performance.
• Create mandatory training and performance improvement plans for security personnel who fail covert tests.
• Update training guidance for security personnel based on findings from covert tests and emerging security threats.

Additionally, the Director must submit an annual report to Congress regarding the implementation of these requirements, including any challenges faced and recommendations for further legislative action.

2. Personnel Shift Management and System Modernization

Within 180 days after enactment, the Director must:

• Perform a comprehensive evaluation of the current personnel tracking system used to manage contract security personnel.
• Decide whether to replace the existing system with a more reliable one or to improve the current system with necessary fixes.
• Develop and publish an implementation plan that includes a timeline for any system changes and procedures for effectively communicating personnel shortages or gaps in security coverage to building tenants.

The Director is also required to report to Congress annually for three years on the effectiveness of the system evaluation, any actions taken, and recommendations for improvements.
