Latest action (16 Sep 2026): Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
What this bill does
The I&A Mission Reorientation Act of 2026 would change how the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A) operates. It requires I&A to equally prioritize providing intelligence support to state, local, tribal, and territorial governments, as well as private sector entities, alongside its support to other parts of the intelligence community.
To achieve this, the bill directs I&A to foster two-way information sharing with these partners, actively identify and address threats using its intelligence capabilities, and ensure that supporting DHS leadership does not negatively impact its responsibilities to these external partners. The bill also mandates sustained engagement with fusion centers, which are collaborative bodies that combine resources to combat criminal or terrorist activity.
The bill has passed the House of Representatives and will now go to the Senate. If enacted, I&A will be required to report to Congress on its progress in implementing these changes and its efforts to enhance information sharing with its government and private sector partners.

Official summary
I&A Mission Reorientation Act of 2026
This bill requires the Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A) of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to prioritize providing intelligence support to state, local, tribal, and territorial governments and private sector entities equally with providing support to other elements of the intelligence community.
To carry out this requirement, the bill directs I&A to facilitate two-way information sharing between I&A and its government and private sector partners and to identify and address threats using forward-deployed intelligence capabilities. I&A must also ensure that its provision of intelligence support to DHS leadership does not interfere with I&A’s responsibilities to government and private sector partners.
Further, the bill directs I&A to maintain robust and sustained engagement with fusion centers. (Fusion centers are collaborative efforts between federal, state, local, or tribal governments that combine resources, expertise, or information to detect, prevent, investigate, and respond to criminal or terrorist activity.)
After the bill’s enactment, I&A must report to Congress on its efforts to implement these provisions.
