Plain Language Summary

# DHS Intelligence Rotational Assignment Program and Law Enforcement Support Act Summary **What the Bill Does:** This bill requires all intelligence units within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to participate in a federal program that allows intelligence professionals to temporarily work at different agencies or in new positions within their own agency for up to three years. The goal is to give these workers broader experience across the intelligence community and improve coordination between different agencies. **Who It Affects:** The bill directly impacts DHS intelligence employees and the various agencies within DHS that handle intelligence work, including the Transportation Security Administration, Coast Guard, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

It may also indirectly affect other federal intelligence agencies that participate in the rotation program, and ultimately the public through improved intelligence and security operations. **Current Status:** The bill has already passed the House of Representatives and is now awaiting action in the Senate. As a non-controversial measure focused on personnel management and interagency cooperation, it represents the type of administrative reform bill that typically has bipartisan support.
