Bill overview
This bill, the Faith-Based Community Center Protection Act, allows funds from the Homeland Security Grant Program to be used to protect faith-based community centers and houses of worship, as well as vulnerable populations like children and the elderly. It specifically defines a ‘faith-based community center’ as a facility operated by a nonprofit faith-based organization or a house of worship. The bill also increases the potential prison sentence for providing false information related to these protections from five to ten years.
