DHS Joint Task Forces Reauthorization Act of 2024

This bill reauthorizes the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Joint Task Forces (JTFs), which coordinate federal, state, and local law enforcement on border security and counterterrorism. It requires DHS to submit annual reports to Congress detailing each JTF’s staffing plan, progress on performance metrics, and any changes to mission goals. The bill also mandates annual briefings to specific congressional committees assessing staffing adequacy and resource allocation for JTF-East, including cost and timeline plans if gaps are identified. These provisions aim to enhance oversight of JTF operations without altering their core missions. The law applies directly to DHS operations and congressional committees overseeing homeland security.
