Extending Anti-Terrorism Protections Act of 2025
This bill extends temporary protections for qualified anti-terrorism technologies under the 2002 Act through fiscal year 2029. It directly affects technology providers seeking to maintain existing protections for their anti-terrorism systems. The key mechanism requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to temporarily extend protections if renewal applications are submitted by a 165-day deadline and are complete upon submission. This extension does not prevent the Secretary from ultimately approving or denying the renewal application. The bill modifies the existing risk management system without altering the final decision-making authority.
