Summary

Every time the Department sends its budget request to Congress, it must also send a Future Years Homeland Security Program at the same time or shortly after. The program must have the same kind of information, organization, and detail the Defense Department uses in its Future Years Defense Program. It must include the Department’s homeland security strategy, which the Secretary develops and updates each year, and explain how the program’s money and resources support that strategy. The rule began with the fiscal year 2005 budget, and the first program was due within 90 days after that budget request.
