The NAACP-supported Domestic and International Terrorism DATA Act, H.R. 3106, passed the U.S. House of Representatives by a unanimous vote on September 26, 2019.  The legislation has now been sent to the U.S. Senate, which must pass the bill before it can go the President for his signature to become law.  This bill would ensure that for centralized, reliable, publically accessible information on terrorism and its roots is available to inform the American people as well as federal, state, and local law enforcement of effective counter-terrorism policy making.
