Bill > HR2627

This bill authorizes the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of State to develop open-source software based on existing U.S. government travel targeting, analysis, watchlisting, and screening systems. The purpose is to facilitate the vetting of travelers against terrorist watchlists and law enforcement databases, enhance border management, and improve targeting and analysis. The bill allows DHS and the State Department to make this software and related technical assistance or training available to foreign governments or multilateral organizations for these purposes. The bill requires the secretaries of DHS and State to submit a plan to Congress on implementing this authority and to certify that providing the software to foreign entities is in the national security interests of the United States.
