Legislative history
The bill passed the House on January 9, 2007, by a vote of 299-128-8. 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. It was signed into law by President George W. Bush on August 3, 2007. It became Public Law 110–53.
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.
