Elevating Biotechnology Threats Reporting Act

This bill requires five specific U.S. intelligence agencies (CIA, DIA, FBI, NSA, and ODNI) to submit detailed reports to Congress by June 30, 2025, about how they address biotechnology threats. Each report must describe gaps in their intelligence work, explain how they share threat information with federal agencies, foreign governments, and private industry/academia, and assess their consultation with outside biotechnology experts. The law directly affects these intelligence agencies and Congress, mandating transparency about their biotechnology threat assessment capabilities. It does not create new programs or funding but establishes a reporting mechanism to identify weaknesses and improve information sharing. The focus is on documenting current practices, not prescribing new policies.
