Bill > HR3779

This bill mandates that the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), the head of the U.S. intelligence community, must annually report to Congress on violations of laws or executive orders committed by personnel within any element of the intelligence community. These reports, to be submitted within one year of the bill's enactment and annually thereafter, must detail any violations identified in the previous calendar year, including a description of the violation and any actions taken in response. The bill specifically mentions Executive Order 12333, a key order governing intelligence activities, and requires reporting on violations determined by various officials within intelligence agencies, such as the head, general counsel, or inspector general, to have occurred or to be more than likely to have occurred. This aims to increase transparency and accountability within the intelligence community regarding misconduct.
