United StatesHouse-passed bill would make a report on areas losing homeland security funding repeat every three years
The bill would add a repeat deadline to an existing report about areas that are no longer eligible for Urban Area Security Initiative funding, so the report would also be due every three years.
What it does
The deadline for a report on areas that lose Urban Area Security Initiative funding eligibility would gain a repeat every three years.
Argument forRegular reports could give Congress and local officials ongoing information about how areas cope after losing this funding.
Argument againstRepeating reports may add paperwork for federal agencies without guaranteeing help for areas that lose funding.
More detail
The bill would add 'and every three years thereafter' to the deadline for reports on areas no longer eligible for Urban Area Security Initiative funding. It amends paragraph (1) of section 7102(b) of the James M. Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023. The text does not say who writes the report or what it must cover. The existing deadline is 18 months after that 2023 law was enacted; the repeat would follow every three years after that.
