This bill mandates the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Director of National Intelligence, to conduct biennial assessments of terrorism threats. These assessments will specifically focus on foreign terrorist organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists present in countries designated as major non-NATO allies , with the first report due within 180 days of the Act's enactment. Each assessment must identify these terrorist groups and describe their activities, including any use of artificial intelligence or critical and emerging technologies . It will also detail the allied government's efforts to disrupt these groups and their cooperation with U.S. intelligence. Furthermore, the assessment will evaluate the Department of Homeland Security's capability to identify, monitor, and mitigate these threats to the United States, prevent members from entering the country, and identify any necessary additional resources.
