Bill overview
This bill, the No Clearance for Terrorists Act, aims to strengthen the process for granting U.S. security clearances by requiring federal agencies to specifically vet applicants for any connection to domestic terrorism. It directs the Security Executive Agent to incorporate involvement with terrorism – including support, training, or advocacy – into the criteria used to assess security risks. The bill also mandates that relevant forms used for public trust and national security positions include questions about past involvement with domestic terrorism.
