The purpose of this legislation, known as the Special Events Program Alignment Act of 2026, is to reorganize how the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) manages its Special Events Program. The main objective is to transfer this program to the Office of Situational Awareness within the DHS to enhance coordination and effectiveness in handling special events. Key provisions of the legislation require that within 180 days of its enactment, the Secretary of Homeland Security must complete the transfer of the Special Events Program.
