This bill would extend the official permission for the Department of Homeland Security's Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office to operate. This office works to protect the country from serious threats. Without this bill, its authorization would have ended in late 2023, but this bill would keep it going until February 28, 2027.

What Would Change

Currently, the Department of Homeland Security's Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office was authorized to operate only until December 21, 2023. This bill would change that. If passed, the office's authorization would be extended, allowing it to continue its work until February 28, 2027.
