Security Sector Governance Compacts Act
To require the development of metrics and indicators to assess the quality of governance of the security sectors of security partner countries, and for other purposes.
HB9782, also known as the Security Sector Governance Compacts Act, aims to establish specific metrics and indicators for evaluating the governance quality of security sectors in partner countries. This bill is focused on ensuring that the security sectors of these countries operate with transparency, accountability, and effectiveness.
This legislation would primarily affect governments and security sectors of partner countries, as well as U.S. officials involved in foreign policy and international security partnerships. The bill seeks to improve the quality of governance by providing clear, measurable standards, which could enhance cooperation and effectiveness in international security efforts.
HB9782 was introduced on July 20, 2026, and is currently in its initial stages, having been referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Committee on Armed Services for further consideration. This means the bill is still being reviewed and discussed by relevant committees, and no further actions have been recorded yet.
