Legislative history
The bill passed the House on January 9, 2007, by a vote of 299-128-8.[1][2] It later passed the Senate with an amendment by unanimous consent. The two chambers of Congress went to conference, and a conference report in which the bill was amended and renamed the Improving America's Security Act of 2007 passed the Senate 85-8-7 on July 26, 2007, and the House 371-40-22 the following day.[2] It was signed into law by President George W. Bush on August 3, 2007.[2] It became Public Law 110–53.[citation needed][3] Andrew Weis, senior counsel, led the drafting of the legislation.[4][5][6]
The private sector preparedness requirements in the bill were based on the work commissioned by the Sloan Foundation to draft a framework for voluntary preparedness.[7][8]
