This bill requires the Director of National Intelligence to create a plan within 180 days to make open-source intelligence products more widely available to federal employees who work outside the intelligence agencies but could benefit from this information. The legislation affects federal workers without security clearances who currently lack access to unclassified intelligence products based on publicly available foreign information, including translated foreign language materials. The plan must address how to share these products while protecting classified sources and methods, identify any obstacles to distribution, and discuss implementation costs and timelines. Additionally, the bill directs the Director of National Intelligence to update existing intelligence guidance to specifically cover the production and sharing of unclassified intelligence products derived entirely from open sources. The legislation also asks for a feasibility study on whether state and local government officials should receive access to these unclassified intelligence products.
