Referred to the House Committee on Intelligence (Permanent Select).
This bill requires the Director of National Intelligence to submit annual reports to Congress for three years detailing civilian casualties caused by foreign military operations where U.S. intelligence played a significant role. Each report must identify specific operations that caused confirmed civilian deaths, provide the total number of casualties, and include details such as the date, location, targeted individual or entity, and the foreign government element responsible for each operation. The reports can be classified but must include an unclassified summary for public transparency. The bill affects U.S. intelligence agencies and their oversight committees in Congress, and it creates accountability mechanisms for monitoring civilian harm in foreign military operations that rely on American intelligence support. There is no specific funding amount listed, and reporting begins within one year of the bill's enactment and continues for two additional years.
