Referred to the House Committee on Homeland Security.
This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security to create and implement standardized training programs for employees in the Office of Intelligence and Analysis. All new hires in the office would receive basic intelligence training within 90 days of starting, covering topics like civil rights, privacy laws, and the office's mission to protect homeland security. Additional specialized training would be required for analysts and those working with open source intelligence, with advanced training options available for professional development. The Secretary of Homeland Security must track employees' completion of training and submit reports to Congress every year for five years starting two years after the law takes effect, while an independent audit by the Comptroller General will compare the program to similar training offered by other intelligence agencies and the Department of Defense.
