While concerns about political violence loom large on a disputed election day, new legislation from Rep. Derek Kilmer, D-Wash., aims to establish an interagency response to help diffuse future conflicts.

The Political Violence Prevention Act would establish a presidentially appointed task force composed of no fewer than 24 officials from the National Security Council, the Domestic Policy Council, several Cabinet-level departments, and a host of other federal agencies to provide policies and recommendations to help prevent and respond to acts of political violence over the next two years.

The bill, presented November 1would launch the task force no later than 180 days after its enactment, enabling it to help craft specific programs and policy issues based on its recommendations to promote “issues related to national unity, building civic bridges and the prevention of political and hate-motivated violence.” .”

Those recommendations would come from a series of reports written by the task force to the president and Congress every six months, outlining the group’s activities and recommendations, along with any updates in subsequent reports.

Two years after its establishment, the task force would issue a final report to the president and Congress detailing its conclusions, progress made on recommendations, descriptions of specific agency programs linked to the task force’s operations, and the activities it has undertaken.

Agencies included in the proposed task force would include the departments of Agriculture, Labor, Homeland Security, Health and Human Services, Justice, Housing and Urban Development, Education, Defense, Veterans Affairs, Interior, State and Commerce.

The Office of Management and Budget, Corporation for National and Community Service, National Endowment for the Arts, National Endowment for the Humanities, Office of the Surgeon General, Small Business Administration, Election Assistance Commission, Federal Agency for Emergency Management and the FBI also provide representatives.

Legislation arises as instances of Doxxing and online threats. federal employees have increased recently, amidst other threats of violence.

The bill has been referred to the House Judiciary Committee.
