AI Summary

This bill, known as the Reporting Efficiently to Proper Officials in Response to Terrorism Act of 2021 or the REPORT Act, requires the primary government agency investigating an act of terrorism in the United States to submit an unclassified report to Congress within one year of completing the investigation. The report must include the facts of the terrorism act, any gaps in national security that could be addressed, recommendations for additional homeland security measures, and a public summary. However, the reporting requirement can be waived if the Secretary of Homeland Security, Attorney General, FBI Director, or National Counterterrorism Center head determines that the information could jeopardize an ongoing investigation or prosecution. This reporting requirement will sunset after 5 years.
