CLEARED Act of 2024

The CLEARED Act of 2024 requires U.S. government agencies managing high-security facilities (like intelligence centers) to track and publicly disclose decisions about allowing electronic medical devices (such as pacemakers or insulin pumps) in those settings. Agencies must maintain detailed ledgers of each approval or denial with justifications, create annual lists of approved devices (including usage restrictions), and submit these to a Governance Board. The Governance Board will review agency practices, resolve inconsistencies across facilities, and maintain a public database showing approval rates and restrictions. This improves transparency for employees and applicants needing security clearances who rely on medical devices in secure government environments.
