Expands due process protections for anyone needing a security clearance and requires more detailed reports on denials.
This bill would make sure that anyone applying for or holding a security clearance gets fair treatment, not just government employees. It would also require federal agencies to share more detailed information each year about why clearances are denied or taken away, and what happens with appeals.
Today, due process protections for security clearances mainly cover federal executive branch employees, and annual reports on clearances lack specific details. If this bill becomes law, these protections would extend to all individuals seeking or holding a security clearance. Also, annual reports would include specific numbers of denials and revocations, the employing entity, the reasons for the decision, and appeal outcomes.
