Bill overview
This bill, the Securing Chain of Command Continuity Act, requires Executive branch agencies whose heads are members of the National Security Council to quickly notify key officials – including the President’s Executive Office, the Government Accountability Office, and both leaders of the House and Senate – if their head becomes medically incapacitated. It mandates a 24-hour notification and, if that fails, a 30-day report detailing who served in an acting capacity, the resources provided, and the reason for the initial delay. The bill aims to ensure continuity of leadership during times of incapacity.
