This bill would change 10 U.S.C. 2576a to add new rules for how excess Department of Defense property is transferred for law enforcement activities. It would require the Secretary of Defense to set up standard procedures to get input from State coordinators and federal stakeholders about program policy and which items are "controlled property." The procedures must include annual consultations to prioritize transfers that support counterdrug, counterterrorism, disaster-related emergency preparedness, and border security activities.
The bill would also require the Secretary to create minimum annual training standards for State coordinators. Training must cover program compliance, accountability, and property management and can be given electronically, in writing, or in person. The Defense Logistics Agency must review the program within one year of the bill becoming law and every two years after that. The Secretary must send a report to the House and Senate Armed Services Committees at least every two years with the review findings. Reports must be posted publicly on the Defense Logistics Agency website within 30 days. Each report must assess compliance with laws and rules, evaluate program effectiveness, and offer recommendations for administrative or legislative changes.
