This bill requires the FBI Director to notify Congress within 30 days whenever the government makes significant changes to how it manages its terrorist watchlist or transnational organized crime watchlist, including procedures for adding or removing individuals. The legislation also directs the FBI to provide Congress with all guidance documents governing these watchlists upon request and to submit annual reports to relevant congressional committees for three years detailing how many U.S. citizens are on the terrorist watchlist, including breakdowns by specific screening categories and the government agencies that nominated them. The bill affects the FBI and various congressional committees with oversight responsibilities—specifically the intelligence, judiciary, appropriations, and homeland security committees. No new funding is authorized, and the annual reporting requirement runs through January 2028.
