Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would require the Secretary of Defense to shut down the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office within 60 days after the law is enacted. The office's duties would be moved to other parts of the Department of Defense as the Secretary decides. The Department of Defense and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence could not create a single similar office with central authority over unidentified anomalous phenomena, such as unidentified airborne, underwater, or space-to-air objects. The bill also repeals the law that created the office and updates related laws on records and the National Archives to refer to the Secretary of Defense instead of the office.
