H.R. 10554: Strengthened Checks for Reliable Evaluation of Entrants Nationwide Act of 2026
This bill would change the rules for what information the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) is allowed to share.
What the bill does
- It adds the Department of State and the Department of Homeland Security to the list of federal agencies that can receive certain disclosures from NCMEC.
- The information could be shared for screening and vetting purposes.
- It does not, based on the text provided, create a new agency, program, or penalty. It mainly expands who can receive certain existing disclosures.
Plain-language effect
In practical terms, the bill would let NCMEC provide certain information to the State Department and Homeland Security when those agencies are checking people for security or immigration-related screening and vetting. The bill does not spell out exactly what kinds of cases or records would be shared beyond what current law already allows NCMEC to disclose under this section.
