AI Summary
This bill amends the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 to expand the scope of counterterrorism assistance provided by the State Department's counterterrorism bureau. Specifically, the bill broadens the existing law to allow funding and support for counterterrorism-focused military and intelligence units, in addition to law enforcement agencies. The changes include adding "intelligence" and "military" to the types of entities that can receive assistance, and explicitly allowing information sharing with U.S. law enforcement agencies as part of the support. This expansion aims to provide more comprehensive and flexible counterterrorism aid, enabling the United States to support a wider range of international partners in their efforts to combat terrorist threats through enhanced cooperation across law enforcement, military, and intelligence sectors.
