REPORT Act
This bill requires federal agencies (like DHS, DOJ, FBI, and the National Counterterrorism Center) to submit unclassified reports after any terrorist attack in the U.S. within one year of the investigation's completion. Reports must detail the incident, identify security gaps, and suggest prevention measures, and be posted publicly online and available to Congress upon request. Agencies may withhold sensitive details if needed for ongoing investigations but must still submit other required information. The law expires after five years and does not grant new investigative powers to the National Counterterrorism Center.
