National Threat Evaluation and Reporting Program Reassignment and Funding Reform Act of 2026
To provide for the transfer to the Office for State and Local Law Enforcement of the Department of Homeland Security of the National Threat Evaluation and Reporting Program of the Department, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security to transfer the National Threat Evaluation and Reporting Program from the Office of Intelligence and Analysis to the Office for State and Local Law Enforcement within 180 days. The NTER Program helps state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement identify and report threats of targeted violence. The bill prohibits funding the program through National Intelligence Program appropriations and requires the Secretary to identify alternative non-intelligence funding sources such as state and local programs and preparedness grants. The Secretary must submit progress reports to Congress within 120 days and every 180 days thereafter for two years on the transfer and any challenges encountered.

A BILL
To provide for the transfer to the Office for State and Local Law Enforcement of the Department of Homeland Security of the National Threat Evaluation and Reporting Program of the Department, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the “National Threat Evaluation and Reporting Program Reassignment and Funding Reform Act of 2026”.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
(a) Findings.—Congress finds the following:
(1) The National Threat Evaluation and Reporting (NTER) Program of the Department of Homeland Security plays a critical role in equipping State, local, Tribal, and territorial (SLTT) partners to identify, assess, and report threats of targeted violence.
(2) The NTER Program primarily serves non-Federal stakeholders and is operationally distinct from national intelligence priorities.
(3) The Office of State and Local Law Enforcement (OSLLE) is the primary DHS component responsible for coordination with SLTT law enforcement and is best positioned to manage the NTER Program.
(4) Funding of the NTER Program through National Intelligence Program (NIP) appropriations is inconsistent with the program’s mission and scope.
SEC. 3. TRANSFER OF NTER PROGRAM.
(a) Transfer.—
(1) In general.—Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall transfer the National Threat Evaluation and Reporting Program to OSLLE from I&A.
(2) Continuity of operations.—The Secretary of Homeland Security shall ensure the continuity of mission and operations of the NTER Program during the pendency of the transfer under paragraph (1), and maintain engagement with SLTT partners throughout such pendency.
(3) Personnel and resources.—The Secretary of Homeland Security shall transfer to OSLLE such personnel, assets, equipment, records, and unexpended balances of appropriations, allocations, or other funds employed, held, used, available, or to be made available in connection with the NTER Program as necessary to carry out this Act.
(4) Limitation.—The transfer under this subsection shall not result in the reduction of capabilities or services provided to SLTT partners by the NTER Program.
(b) Prohibition on Use of National Intelligence Program Funds.—
(1) In general.—Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no funds appropriated or otherwise made available under the National Intelligence Program may be obligated or expended for the NTER Program on or after the effective date of the transfer of the NTER Program in accordance with subsection (a).
(2) Alternative funding mechanisms.—The Secretary of Homeland Security shall identify and allocate appropriate non- NIP Program funding sources to support the continued operation and expansion of the NTER Program under OSLLE. Such funding sources may include appropriations made available to the Department of Homeland Security for State and local programs, preparedness grants, or other relevant nonintelligence funding streams.
(c) Reports.—Not later than 120 days after the date of the enactment of this Act and every 180 days thereafter for two years, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall submit to the Committee on Homeland Security of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs of the Senate a report on the following:
(1) The progress of the NTER Program transfer under subsection (a).
(2) The impact on NTER Program operations and SLTT stakeholder engagement.
(3) Funding adjustments made pursuant to subsection (b).
