HR 1327 United States House · 119th Congress

Syria Terrorism Threat Assessment Act

HR 1327, the Syria Terrorism Threat Assessment Act, requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to conduct a threat assessment of individuals in Syria affiliated with designated foreign or global terrorist organizations. The assessment must identify each individual's country of origin, describe their terrorist group affiliation, detail DHS's capability to track them, and outline actions taken to mitigate threats and prevent entry into the U.S. The Secretary must submit this report to Congress within 60 days of the bill's enactment. This is a procedural requirement focused on gathering and reporting threat information, not on changing existing laws or policies.

What changed between versions

Introduced in House Engrossed in House · 2 edits · Nov 19, 2025
MINOR
The Engrossed version adds a new requirement that the threat assessment submitted to Congress must be in unclassified form, though it may include a classified annex. This establishes a transparency standard for how the Secretary delivers the assessment to congressional committees. The remaining changes are structural renumbering to accommodate the new subsection.
REQUIREMENT

New subsection (b)(2) requires that the threat assessment be submitted in unclassified form, with permission for a classified annex. This ensures Congress receives an unclassified version of the assessment while allowing sensitive details to be handled separately.

TECHNICAL

Existing subsection (b) was restructured: a new heading '(1) In general' was added and the two existing items were renumbered from (1) and (2) to (A) and (B) to make room for the new form requirement.
