HR 9749 United States House · 118th Congress

To amend the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to abolish the reorganization authority of the Department of Homeland Security, and for other purposes.

HR 9749 abolishes the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) authority to reorganize its internal structure without new congressional approval, as provided under specific sections of the Homeland Security Act of 2002. The bill removes sections 857, 858, 872, and 881 from the Act and adjusts related provisions to reflect this change. This directly affects DHS by preventing it from altering its own organizational structure through internal processes alone. The bill makes no new policy changes but eliminates an existing procedural mechanism for DHS restructuring.
