H.R. 7443, the I&A Mission Reorientation Act of 2026, directs the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Intelligence and Analysis to prioritize support for state, local, tribal, territorial, and private sector organizations rather than focusing primarily on serving federal intelligence agencies. The bill requires the office to establish two-way information sharing with these entities, deploy intelligence resources to identify emerging threats, maintain engagement with fusion centers, and ensure that support to departmental leadership doesn't undermine these broader responsibilities. Within 180 days of the bill's enactment, the Under Secretary for Intelligence and Analysis must report to four congressional committees on implementation steps, progress in two-way information sharing, effectiveness metrics, and any needed resource or organizational changes. The legislation preserves the office's existing watchlisting functions and does not include new funding allocations, instead requiring a reorientation of existing resources and operations.
