The summary below was written by the Congressional Research Service, which is a nonpartisan division of the Library of Congress.
3/14/2014--Introduced.
Social Media Working Group Act of 2014 - Amends the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to direct the Secretary of Homeland Security to establish within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) a social media working group (the Group) to provide guidance and best practices to the emergency preparedness and response community on the use of social media technologies before, during, and after a terrorist attack.
Requires the Group to submit an annual report that includes:
(1) a review of current and emerging social media technologies being used to support preparedness and response activities related to terrorist attacks, of best practices and lessons learned on the use of social media during the response to terrorist attacks that occurred during the period covered by the report, and of available training for government officials on the use of social media in response to a terrorist attack;
(2) recommendations to improve DHS's use of social media and to improve information sharing among DHS and its components and among state and local governments; and
(3) a summary of coordination efforts with the private sector to discuss and resolve legal, operational, technical, privacy, and security concerns.
The summary below was written by the House Republican Conference, which is the caucus of Republicans in the House of Representatives.
No summary available.
The House Democratic Caucus does not provide summaries of bills.
So, yes, we display the House Republican Conference’s summaries when available even if we do not have a Democratic summary available. That’s because we feel it is better to give you as much information as possible, even if we cannot provide every viewpoint.
We’ll be looking for a source of summaries from the other side in the meanwhile.
