HR 7574 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
ELO Realignment and Strategic Engagement Reform Act of 2026
Summary
The ELO Realignment and Strategic Engagement Reform Act of 2026 requires the Department of Homeland Security Secretary to develop a comprehensive reorganization plan for the Engagement, Liaison, and Outreach Office within 120 days of enactment. The plan must consolidate the ELO Office's essential functions and personnel within the Partner Engagement directorate of the Office of Intelligence and Analysis, establish clearer communication channels with law enforcement partners, and eliminate duplicative outreach efforts. The plan must include organizational justification with cost-benefit analysis, staffing proposals, timelines, and oversight mechanisms while ensuring continued intelligence support to state, local, tribal, and territorial entities. Until the plan is submitted and implementation begins, the Secretary cannot expand ELO Office resources or establish duplicate offices without congressional approval.
