AI Summary
This bill, the Gregg Wenzel Clandestine Heroes Parity Act, amends the Central Intelligence Agency Act of 1949 to provide death benefits to the survivors of certain CIA employees and affiliated individuals who die during an assignment in a foreign country, regardless of whether the death was due to the performance of duty or an act of terrorism. The bill requires the CIA to pay a death benefit equal to one year's salary at the level II of the Executive Schedule (currently around $200,000) to the designated survivor of the deceased individual. The bill applies retroactively to deaths since September 11, 2001 and going forward, and prohibits the CIA from modifying existing regulations in a way that would limit or reduce the individuals covered by the new death benefits.
