What this bill would do

The Security Clearance Review Act aims to amend the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004. It seeks to authorize the Director of the FBI to make security clearance and access determinations for individuals in the Executive Office of the President. This includes political appointees and special Government employees. The bill establishes specific requirements for employment and access to classified information. It also mandates notification procedures if a clearance is denied, suspended, or revoked.
