Bill > HR6195

This bill amends the National Security Act of 1947 to establish criminal penalties for unauthorized access to intelligence community (IC) property. Specifically, the bill makes it unlawful for any person to access property within the United States that belongs to an intelligence community element and has been clearly marked as closed or restricted, without proper authorization. The penalties escalate with repeated offenses: for a first offense, a person could face fines and up to 180 days in prison; for a second offense, the potential imprisonment increases (though the exact duration is not specified in the provided text); and for a third or subsequent offense, the person could be fined and imprisoned for up to 10 years. The bill aims to enhance the security of sensitive intelligence community property by creating a legal framework with increasingly severe consequences for unauthorized access, thereby deterring potential breaches and protecting classified or restricted areas and materials.
