National Threat Evaluation and Reporting Program Reassignment and Funding Reform Act of 2026
DHS: Reorganizing the National Threat Evaluation and Reporting Program
Legislative Progress
Key Points
- This bill moves the National Threat Evaluation and Reporting (NTER) program to a different part of the Department of Homeland Security. Instead of being run by the intelligence office, it will be managed by the office that works directly with local and state police.
- The NTER program helps local, state, and tribal officers learn how to identify and report potential threats of violence. Moving it is intended to help the program better serve local communities instead of focusing on national intelligence priorities.
- The bill also changes how the program is funded. It will no longer use money from the National Intelligence Program. Instead, the government will have to use other homeland security funds or grants to keep the program running.
- The transfer must happen within 180 days of the bill becoming law. The bill requires that there be no loss of services or help for local police during this change.
