REPORT Act

Read twice and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.

Bill 119 s 848, also known as the "Joint Terrorism Reports Act of 2021," aims to enhance communication and coordination between relevant federal agencies in reporting incidents of terrorism to Congress. The bill requires these agencies to submit joint reports to Congress detailing any incidents of terrorism that have occurred within the United States or against U.S. citizens abroad.

The purpose of these joint reports is to ensure that Congress is kept informed of any terrorist threats or attacks, allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of the current state of terrorism within the country. By requiring collaboration between federal agencies, the bill seeks to improve the accuracy and timeliness of the information provided to Congress, ultimately enhancing national security efforts.

In addition to the reporting requirements, the bill also includes provisions for the protection of classified information and the safeguarding of sensitive national security details. This ensures that the information shared in these joint reports is handled appropriately and does not compromise ongoing investigations or intelligence operations. Overall, Bill 119 s 848 is a bipartisan effort to strengthen the communication and coordination between federal agencies in reporting incidents of terrorism to Congress. By promoting transparency and accountability in the reporting process, the bill aims to enhance national security efforts and protect the American people from terrorist threats.
