S 3894 United States Senate · 118th Congress

No Clearances for Terrorist Sympathizers Act of 2024

This bill prohibits federal agencies from granting or renewing security clearances to individuals who have publicly expressed support for designated foreign terrorist organizations (including Hamas and Hezbollah), the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), or their affiliates. It amends existing law to add these new disqualifying criteria to the security clearance process. The bill also requires the Intelligence Community Inspector General to conduct biennial audits verifying that agencies have effective measures to screen applicants for such affiliations. This directly affects federal employees and contractors requiring security clearances who have publicly supported these designated groups.
