This bill aims to restructure the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A) by shifting from a centralized, headquarters-based model to a field-centric intelligence model . Congress finds that the current centralized approach, with analytic functions concentrated in Washington, D.C., hinders effective collaboration with state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) partners. The purpose is to improve operational relevance, responsiveness, and coordination by placing analytic personnel directly in the regions they support. Within two years of enactment, the Secretary of Homeland Security must transition I&A's primary analytic functions to this decentralized model. This includes assigning at least one Intelligence Officer (IO) and one Intelligence Analyst (IA) to every fusion center, as well as other strategic locations and joint or interagency task forces. These personnel are prohibited from serving concurrently in both IO and IA roles and must receive training on civil rights, civil liberties, and privacy rights. The bill specifies that IOs and IAs will report operationally to I&A Regional Directors while coordinating with regional leads from other DHS components like FEMA and CISA to ensure integrated intelligence support. Assignments to fusion centers will consider input from the centers themselves, and personnel will serve three-year terms, with provisions to prevent simultaneous rotation out of both IO and IA roles at a single center. Furthermore, the Under Secretary for Intelligence and Analysis must submit a staffing and resource plan within 180 days, detailing personnel requirements for the regions and headquarters, and outlining necessary hiring, training, or realignment. The Secretary is also required to submit an initial report within one year, detailing progress on decentralization and any encountered barriers. Subsequently, annual assessments for five years will evaluate the operational impact on I&A and SLTT partners, along with improvements in interagency intelligence support and coordination.
