HR 6250 United States House · 118th Congress

Prevent Hamas Supporters in the U.S. Government Act

This bill requires the Inspector General of five specific federal agencies (State, Defense, Homeland Security, FBI, and CIA) to report within 90 days on any employees with financial, organizational, or communication ties to Hamas - including social media posts supporting Hamas. It also mandates a broader 180-day report from the Comptroller General on the prevalence of such ties across these agencies, including recommendations for future legislation. The bill directly affects all employees (including military personnel) in those agencies who have any connection to Hamas as defined by the legislation. It focuses on transparency and investigation, not immediate action against employees, and does not change current hiring or employment policies.
