ELO Realignment and Strategic Engagement Reform Act of 2026
To provide for the reorganization and realignment of the Engagement, Liaison, and Outreach Office of the Department of Homeland Security, and for other purposes.
This bill aims to reorganize and realign the Engagement, Liaison, and Outreach Office within the Department of Homeland Security. The goal is to improve how the office engages with communities and other stakeholders. This could lead to better coordination and effectiveness in homeland security efforts.
Those most affected would be the staff and operations within the Engagement, Liaison, and Outreach Office, as well as the communities they interact with. Changes could enhance how the office communicates and works with the public and other agencies.
The bill was introduced on February 13, 2026, and has moved through several stages. Most recently, on July 13, 2026, it passed the House with a voice vote. It was reported by the Committee on Homeland Security on July 9, 2026, and ordered to be reported by a vote of 27 to 3. The bill is now ready for further action, possibly heading to the Senate.
