        activities of the Bureau), the Director of Central 
        Intelligence, the Director of the National Security Agency, and

        National Security Agency, the Director of Defense Intelligence

                     TITLE VII--INFORMATION SHARING

SEC. 701. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Homeland Security Information 
Sharing Act''.

SEC. 702. FINDINGS AND SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
            (1) The Federal Government is required by the Constitution 
        to provide for the common defense, which includes terrorist 
        attack.
            (2) The Federal Government relies on State and local 
        personnel to protect against terrorist attack.
            (3) The Federal Government collects, creates, manages, and 
        protects classified and sensitive but unclassified information 
        to enhance homeland security.
            (4) Some homeland security information is needed by the 
        State and local personnel to prevent and prepare for terrorist 
        attack.
            (5) The needs of State and local personnel to have access 
        to relevant homeland security information to combat terrorism 
        must be reconciled with the need to preserve the protected 
        status of such information and to protect the sources and 
        methods used to acquire such information.
            (6) Granting security clearances to certain State and local 
        personnel is one way to facilitate the sharing of information 
        regarding specific terrorist threats among Federal, State, and 
        local levels of government.
            (7) Methods exist to declassify, redact, or otherwise adapt 
        classified information so it may be shared with State and local 
        personnel without the need for granting additional security 
        clearances.
            (8) State and local personnel have capabilities and 
        opportunities to gather information on suspicious activities 
        and terrorist threats not possessed by Federal agencies.
            (9) The Federal Government and State and local governments 
        and agencies in other jurisdictions may benefit from such 
        information.
            (10) Federal, State, and local governments and 
        intelligence, law enforcement, and other emergency preparation 
        and response agencies must act in partnership to maximize the 
        benefits of information gathering and analysis to prevent and 
        respond to terrorist attacks.
            (11) Information systems, including the National Law 
        Enforcement Telecommunications System and the Terrorist Threat 
        Warning System, have been established for rapid sharing of 
        classified and sensitive but unclassified information among 
        Federal, State, and local entities.
            (12) Increased efforts to share homeland security 
        information should avoid duplicating existing information 
        systems.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that Federal, 
State, and local entities should share homeland security information to 
the maximum extent practicable, with special emphasis on hard-to-reach 
urban and rural communities.

SEC. 703. FACILITATING HOMELAND SECURITY INFORMATION SHARING 
              PROCEDURES.

    (a) Procedures for Determining Extent of Sharing of Homeland 
Security Information.--
            (1) The President shall prescribe and implement procedures 
        under which relevant Federal agencies determine--
                    (A) whether, how, and to what extent homeland 
                security information may be shared with appropriate 
                State and local personnel, and with which such 
                personnel it may be shared;
                    (B) how to identify and safeguard homeland security 
                information that is sensitive but unclassified; and
                    (C) to the extent such information is in classified 
                form, whether, how, and to what extent to remove 
                classified information, as appropriate, and with which 
                such personnel it may be shared after such information 
                is removed.
            (2) The President shall ensure that such procedures apply 
        to all agencies of the Federal Government.
            (3) Such procedures shall not change the substantive 
        requirements for the classification and safeguarding of 
        classified information.
            (4) Such procedures shall not change the requirements and 
        authorities to protect sources and methods.
    (b) Procedures for Sharing of Homeland Security Information.--
            (1) Under procedures prescribed by the President, all 
        appropriate agencies, including the intelligence community, 
        shall, through information sharing systems, share homeland 
        security information with appropriate State and local personnel 
        to the extent such information may be shared, as determined in 
        accordance with subsection (a), together with assessments of 
        the credibility of such information.
            (2) Each information sharing system through which 
        information is shared under paragraph (1) shall--
                    (A) have the capability to transmit unclassified or 
                classified information, though the procedures and 
                recipients for each capability may differ;
                    (B) have the capability to restrict delivery of 
                information to specified subgroups by geographic 
                location, type of organization, position of a recipient 
                within an organization, or a recipient's need to know 
                such information;
                    (C) be configured to allow the efficient and 
                effective sharing of information; and
                    (D) be accessible to appropriate State and local 
                personnel.
            (3) The procedures prescribed under paragraph (1) shall 
        establish conditions on the use of information shared under 
        paragraph (1)--
                    (A) to limit the redissemination of such 
                information to ensure that such information is not used 
                for an unauthorized purpose;
                    (B) to ensure the security and confidentiality of 
                such information;
                    (C) to protect the constitutional and statutory 
                rights of any individuals who are subjects of such 
                information; and
                    (D) to provide data integrity through the timely 
                removal and destruction of obsolete or erroneous names 
                and information.
            (4) The procedures prescribed under paragraph (1) shall 
        ensure, to the greatest extent practicable, that the 
        information sharing system through which information is shared 
        under such paragraph include existing information sharing 
        systems, including, but not limited to, the National Law 
        Enforcement Telecommunications System, the Regional Information 
        Sharing System, and the Terrorist Threat Warning System of the 
        Federal Bureau of Investigation.
            (5) Each appropriate Federal agency, as determined by the 
        President, shall have access to each information sharing system 
        through which information is shared under paragraph (1), and 
        shall therefore have access to all information, as appropriate, 
        shared under such paragraph.
            (6) The procedures prescribed under paragraph (1) shall 
        ensure that appropriate State and local personnel are 
        authorized to use such information sharing systems--
