American Detainee Transparency and Recovery Act

This bill requires the State Department to review cases of U.S. citizens detained overseas every 180 days when credible information suggests wrongful detention. It mandates that the State Department and the Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs submit a classified report to Congress within 30 days of each review, identifying detained citizens not yet classified as unlawfully detained. The Secretary of State must then determine within 180 days whether detention is unlawful, with limited waivers allowed for safety concerns (expiring after 180 days). Families of affected citizens must be notified within 30 days of the congressional report. The bill directly affects U.S. citizens detained overseas, their families, and State Department officials handling detainee cases.
