S 2242 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.
Counternarcotics Enhancement Act
To require the Director of National Intelligence to submit an action plan to enhance counternarcotics collaboration, coordination, and cooperation with the Government of Mexico, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill requires the Director of National Intelligence to develop and submit an action plan within 180 days to enhance counternarcotics collaboration and cooperation with the Government of Mexico. Intelligence community agencies must first submit their own assessments of their relationships with Mexican government elements, including any counterintelligence risks and strategies to improve cooperation, within 60 days. The Director then consolidates these submissions and develops a comprehensive action plan that may include recommendations for changes to authorities or resources needed to implement it effectively. The action plan is to be submitted in unclassified form to the congressional intelligence committees, though it may include a classified annex.
