The "Korean American Divided Families National Registry Act" mandates the Secretary of State to establish a **private, internal national registry** for Korean American families. This registry will include names and relevant information of those separated from family members residing in North Korea since the 1953 Korean War Armistice Agreement. The primary goal is to facilitate future reunions, encompassing both in-person and video formats, and to serve as a comprehensive repository of information, even for deceased individuals. The Secretary of State is authorized to enter into agreements for sharing information from the registry with Korean individuals, academic institutions, or the public, provided there is **consent** from the U.S. person whose personally identifiable information is disclosed. Such agreements must ensure the information remains private, confidential, and is not improperly shared. Furthermore, the bill directs the Secretary to ensure that any direct dialogue between the United States and North Korea includes discussions on achieving progress towards these family reunions. The Secretary of State is required to **consult with the Government of the Republic of Korea** on these efforts. An annual reporting requirement is established, mandating the Secretary to include updates in reports under the North Korean Human Rights Act of 2004. These reports must detail the status of the registry, the number of individuals who have or have not met family members, North Korea's responses to reunion requests, and any actions taken by North Korea that impede the emigration of family members.
