REPORT Act

This bill says that after an act of terrorism happens in the United States and the government finishes investigating it, certain agencies — including the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, the FBI, and sometimes the National Counterterrorism Center — must send a public report to Congress. The report has to include the facts about what happened and suggestions for how to prevent similar attacks in the future, but sensitive information that could hurt an ongoing investigation or court case can be left out. This reporting requirement would end five years after the bill becomes law.
