IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
A BILL
To provide for the transfer to the Office for State and Local Law Enforcement of the Department of Homeland Security of the National Threat Evaluation and Reporting Program of the Department, and for other purposes.
This Act may be cited as the National Threat Evaluation and Reporting Program Reassignment and Funding Reform Act of 2026
.
The National Threat Evaluation and Reporting (NTER) Program of the Department of Homeland Security plays a critical role in equipping State, local, Tribal, and territorial (SLTT) partners to identify, assess, and report threats of targeted violence.
The NTER Program primarily serves non-Federal stakeholders and is operationally distinct from national intelligence priorities.
The Office of State and Local Law Enforcement (OSLLE) is the primary DHS component responsible for coordination with SLTT law enforcement and is best positioned to manage the NTER Program.
Funding of the NTER Program through National Intelligence Program (NIP) appropriations is inconsistent with the program’s mission and scope.
The Secretary of Homeland Security shall ensure the continuity of mission and operations of the NTER Program during the pendency of the transfer under paragraph (1), and maintain engagement with SLTT partners throughout such pendency.
The transfer under this subsection shall not result in the reduction of capabilities or services provided to SLTT partners by the NTER Program.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no funds appropriated or otherwise made available under the National Intelligence Program may be obligated or expended for the NTER Program on or after the effective date of the transfer of the NTER Program in accordance with subsection (a).
Not later than 120 days after the date of the enactment of this Act and every 180 days thereafter for two years, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall submit to the Committee on Homeland Security of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs of the Senate a report on the following:
The progress of the NTER Program transfer under subsection (a).
The impact on NTER Program operations and SLTT stakeholder engagement.
Funding adjustments made pursuant to subsection (b).
Any challenges encountered in such transfer and recommendations to address such challenges.
