MINOR
The bill adds a recurring reporting requirement to an existing one-time report on jurisdictions transitioning out of Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) funding eligibility. The amendment inserts 'and every three years thereafter' into the reporting deadline, converting a single report due 18 months after enactment into a triennial obligation.
TIMELINE
The reporting requirement in section 7102(b)(1) of the FY2023 NDAA is changed from a one-time report (due not later than 18 months after enactment) to a recurring report due every three years thereafter.
