Chinese Spy Balloon Assessment Act

HR 934, the Chinese Spy Balloon Assessment Act, requires the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to Congress within 90 days of the bill's enactment. The report must analyze the national security effects of surveillance conducted by China via the high-altitude balloon shot down in U.S. airspace in February 2023, specifically covering impacts on military installations and the technology recovered from the balloon, including its country of origin. This bill directly affects the Department of Defense and Congress by mandating a formal assessment of a specific security incident. It does not create new policies or funding but establishes a procedural requirement for transparency regarding the balloon incident. The report must be unclassified but may include a classified annex.
