Requires US government to regularly assess terror threats from certain allied nations.

This bill would require the Department of Homeland Security to regularly assess terrorism threats to the U.S. coming from foreign terrorist groups in certain allied countries. These classified reports would go to Congress, giving lawmakers more detailed information about potential dangers. Currently, there is no law requiring these specific, regular assessments.

What Would Change

Currently, there is no law requiring the Secretary of Homeland Security to submit a regular, specific classified assessment of terrorism threats to the U.S. from foreign terrorist organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists in major non-NATO allied countries. If this bill becomes law, the Department of Homeland Security would be required to create and submit such a classified assessment to Congress every two years, starting within 180 days of enactment, along with a briefing.
