This bill amends a provision within the James M. Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023 to establish a recurring reporting requirement. Its core purpose is to ensure ongoing oversight of jurisdictions that are no longer eligible for Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) funding. The amendment specifically mandates that reports detailing the transition of these jurisdictions, initially required within 18 months, must now be submitted every three years thereafter . This ensures continuous assessment of how these areas maintain their homeland security capabilities and address potential gaps after their eligibility for UASI funding ceases.
