What this bill does
The Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026 sets authorized funding levels for U.S. intelligence agencies, including $674.5 million for the Intelligence Community Management Account and $514 million for the CIA Retirement and Disability Fund, with additional amounts specified in a classified schedule available to congressional appropriators and the President. It also creates a new National Counterintelligence Center within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, led by a Senate-confirmed Director, to coordinate and direct counterintelligence activities across intelligence agencies, including a National Counterintelligence Task Force, a dedicated funding program, damage-assessment authority, and periodic strategy reports to Congress. Other provisions address AI use and security in intelligence work, a ban on DeepSeek software on intelligence systems, workforce protections against political or ideological activism requirements, open-source and commercially available information oversight, and various reporting requirements, including on China, Russia, and Ukraine-related intelligence matters.
The bill primarily affects federal intelligence agencies and their personnel, the Director of National Intelligence, the CIA, Defense Department intelligence components, and congressional oversight committees. It sets budget authority, restructures counterintelligence coordination, and imposes new reporting, audit, and management requirements on these agencies, with limited direct effect on the general public beyond national security policy.
The bill was introduced September 8, 2025, referred to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and reported with an amendment on November 28, 2025, placing it on the Union Calendar for consideration by the full House. It would next require a House floor vote, then Senate action, before any provisions could be enacted into law.
