bill would
Modify the process for granting security clearances to federal employees and contractors
Authorize the appropriation of $558 million for fiscal year 2020 for the Intelligence Community Management
Account  (ICMA)


  *  Make several changes to pay and benefits for civilian employees of the intelligence community
  * Authorize the Director of National Intelligence to provide grants or to enter contracts for analyzing information
     found on social media platforms
  * Authorize the appropriation of $11.5 million to identify security weaknesses in critical infrastructure
  *  Preempt state and local laws that would otherwise require governmental agencies participating in a new pilot
     program to disclose information about their activities, such as sharing cybersecurity information.

Estimated  budgetary effects would primarily stem from
  *  Establishing timeliness goals for completing initial secret and top secret clearances
  * Authorizing amounts to be appropriated for the ICMA
  *  Enhancing benefits for employees of the intelligence community
  *  Paying for analysis of information found on social media platforms
  * Authorizing appropriations for a program to identify security weaknesses in critical infrastructure

Areas  of significant uncertainty include
  * Anticipating the manner in which the Administration would implement changes to the security clearance
     process
  *  Estimating the number of employees of the intelligence community who would benefit from the expansion of
     personnel benefits
