in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This law sets a few rules for Homeland Security's research work. Research should stay unclassified whenever possible. Other department leaders can still do research, if it's coordinated with the science chief. The Secretary can issue regulations, and must warn Congress before shifting Energy Department life-science work.

(a) Classification: As much as practically possible, research the Department does or funds should be unclassified — not kept secret. (b) Construction: This part of the law doesn't stop any Under Secretary of Homeland Security from doing their own research, development, testing, or rollout work — as long as they coordinate it through the Under Secretary for Science and Technology. (c) Regulations: The Secretary, acting through the Under Secretary for Science and Technology, can issue rules covering the Department's research, development, testing, and evaluation work — including how such work is carried out, funded, and reviewed. (d) Notification of Presidential life sciences designations: Before moving any Department of Energy life-sciences work to Homeland Security under section 183(1)(D), the President must tell the relevant congressional committees at least 60 days ahead of time, explaining why and what effect the move will have on the Energy Department's work.
