H.R. 5729 would prohibit the use of federal funds to reestablish the Homeland Intelligence Experts Group or any successor program. That group, whose members come from private-sector entities, advised the Department of Homeland Security on intelligence and counterintelligence activities. The group was disbanded on May 2, 2024. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 5729 would not affect direct spending or revenues. CBO has not estimated the bill’s effects on spending subject to appropriation. The bill contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.
