Homeland Security Strategy Act of 2005

H.R. 1383, the Homeland Security Strategy Act of 2005, would require the President to submit an annual report to Congress detailing the nation’s comprehensive strategy for protecting the United States from domestic threats. This report would outline the country’s security goals, the diplomatic and economic tools needed to achieve them, and an assessment of whether current resources are adequate to keep the public safe.

Additionally, the bill mandates a deep-dive review of the nation's security infrastructure and budget every four years to establish a long-term strategy looking 20 years into the future. For citizens, this legislation aims to create more transparency and accountability regarding how the federal government identifies national vulnerabilities and allocates taxpayer resources to prevent future attacks.
