What this bill would do
This bill aims to speed up the process of accrediting and accessing sensitive compartmented information facilities for the private sector. The Secretary of Defense is required to submit a plan to congressional defense committees within 180 days of the act's enactment. This plan must address the construction and operational use of commercial facilities to support national security innovation, manufacturing, and mission-critical activities. It includes recommendations for parallel processing of construction and technology deployment to shorten timelines. The plan also covers the use of mobile networks and the feasibility of delegating review authority to trained personnel. Finally, it explores the creation of a centralized digital platform to manage facility processes using artificial intelligence and machine learning.
