Bill overview
This bill, the Transparency in Security Clearance Denials Act, requires the State Department to regularly report on why security clearances are denied. Specifically, the Secretary of State must annually provide data on the number of individuals denied clearances, the number who appealed those denials, and the success rate of those appeals. The report will also detail the factors considered when making these decisions and break down the data by job type, ethnicity, national origin, race, and gender where available. This aims to increase transparency and accountability in the security clearance process.
