What this bill does
This bill, H.R. 6326, would require the Secretary of Defense to develop and submit a plan to Congress within 180 days of its enactment. The plan's goal is to speed up the process of accrediting, constructing, and making operational sensitive compartmented information facilities available to private companies. These facilities are used for classified government work supporting national security.
The proposed plan would include recommendations for authorizing parallel processing of construction security plans, construction, and IT deployment to shorten approval times. It also involves assessing the feasibility of using standard construction templates, evaluating current policies for mobile intelligence networks within contractor facilities, and considering delegating review authority for construction security plans to qualified military personnel. The plan would also explore designating shared commercial classified facilities for all Department of Defense classified work and proposing a digital platform for managing facility lifecycle processes, potentially using artificial intelligence.
The bill has been introduced in the House of Representatives and referred to the Committee on Armed Services. As an introduced bill, it has not yet been voted on by either chamber of Congress. If passed by the House and then the Senate, it would go to the President to be signed into law.
