What this bill does
H.R. 4429, the Department of Homeland Security Intelligence and Analysis Training Act, would amend the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to require the Secretary of Homeland Security, acting through the Under Secretary for Intelligence and Analysis, to create a standardized entry-level training curriculum for all employees of DHS's Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A). New hires would need to begin this training within 90 days of starting and before assuming official duties, and it would cover civil rights, civil liberties, privacy protections, and the Privacy Act of 1974. The bill also requires additional specialized training for analysts and for open-source intelligence collectors, development of advanced/specialized training options, a system to track employees' training completion, and periodic public listings of outside training opportunities from other intelligence agencies and the Department of Defense.
The bill primarily affects DHS's Office of Intelligence and Analysis, its current and future employees, and the Under Secretary who would oversee implementation. It also affects congressional oversight committees, which would receive implementation reports over several years, and the Government Accountability Office, which would be required to review and compare I&A's training program to that of other intelligence agencies and DOD within two years of enactment.
The bill was introduced on June 30, 2023, by Rep. Seth Magaziner and referred to the House Committee on Homeland Security. It has not received a vote and, as of the latest action reported, remains at the introduction stage with no further congressional action taken.
