Summary

When the Department sends its yearly budget to Congress, it must also send a Future Years Homeland Security Program. That program must give the same kinds of information, organization, and detail as the Defense Department’s multiyear budget plan. It must include the Department’s homeland security strategy (the Secretary must write and update it each year) and explain how the plan’s money and resources match that strategy. This rule began with the fiscal year 2005 budget. The first Future Years Homeland Security Program had to be sent no later than 90 days after the Department sent its FY2005 budget, and then it must be included with each annual budget after that.
