The CLEARED Act of 2024 requires federal agencies that operate secure facilities for classified information to establish systems for tracking and approving electronic medical devices used by employees and security clearance applicants in those facilities. Covered agencies must create and maintain ledgers documenting approval and denial decisions for medical devices, develop lists of approved devices with associated restrictions, and establish policies governing device use within one year. The legislation directs the Director of National Intelligence and an existing Electronic Medical Device Governance Board to collect this information from agencies, identify inconsistencies in approval practices across facilities, conduct security research on medical devices, and publish a publicly accessible database showing approval rates and device restrictions. The Director must submit annual reports to Congress summarizing approval trends, research findings, and recommendations for updating medical device policies. The bill aims to improve transparency and consistency in how federal intelligence agencies handle medical device access for cleared personnel while protecting national security and personal privacy.
