Access Control
& Security Systems

A House of Representatives subcommittee has approved a $29.4 billion bill to fund the U.S. Department of Homeland Security next year.

The bill would boost homeland security funding in the coming fiscal year, (starting Oct. 1) by around $1 billion more than the White House had requested. Much of the extra money, around $890 million, will go to first responders. Transportation security efforts will also get more funding.

The measure will go to the full committee this week.
