It could also impact civil liberties considerations, as domestic security measures sometimes raise questions about surveillance and due process protections. **Current Status** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it hasn't yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives.
It was introduced by Representative Seth Moulton (D-MA) in the 119th Congress. To learn the specific provisions and requirements, you would need to review the full text on Congress.gov, as the summary provided doesn't include detailed policy language.
