Department of Homeland Security Strategy for International Programs Act
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Passed the House without a recorded vote, then expired. It passed by voice vote or unanimous consent, which don't record how each member voted, but didn't become law before the 114th Congress ended.

Department of Homeland Security Strategy for International Programs Act
(Sec. 2) This bill directs the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to submit a comprehensive three-year strategy for international programs in which DHS personnel and resources are deployed abroad for vetting and screening persons seeking to enter the United States.
The strategy shall include:
- specific risk-based goals for such programs;

- alignment with the highest DHS-wide and government-wide strategic priorities of resource allocations on such programs; and
- a common reporting framework for the submission of reliable, comparable cost data by DHS components on overseas expenditures attributable to such programs.
In developing the strategy, DHS shall consider:
- information on existing operations of DHS programs that includes corresponding information for each location in which each such program operates,
- analysis of the impact of each such international program on domestic activities of DHS components,
- the number of DHS personnel deployed to each location at which such an international program is in operation during the current and preceding fiscal year, and
- analysis of barriers to the expansion of such an international program.
