What's in it

See official bill text

Costs less than $500,000 over the 2026-2030 period.

The $500,000 is just the federal cost to run the reporting and information-sharing requirements — the policy's real impact is that must monitor and assess generative AI terrorism threats and share that intelligence through existing fusion center networks.
