i am kind of a government nerd so i decided to draft a Disclosure act see what you think! just for fun not an actual member of congress. A BILL: The UAP Transparency and Amnesty Act of 2026 To provide for the immediate disclosure of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) and non-human intelligence (NHI), to grant limited amnesty for whistleblowers, to mandate Congressional access to restricted sites, and to establish criminal penalties for future concealment under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the "UAP Transparency and Amnesty Act of 2026." SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND DECLARATIONS. Congress finds the following: Systemic Concealment: Credible testimony and evidence suggest that elements of the Federal Government and private aerospace contractors have withheld information regarding Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) and Non-Human Intelligence (NHI) from Congress and the public. Misuse of Law: Obscure provisions of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 have been improperly utilized to classify UAP-related propulsion and biological technologies as "Restricted Data," thereby evading standard oversight. National Interest: Continued secrecy regarding UAP undermines national security, scientific progress, and the constitutional oversight authority of Congress. SEC. 3. DEFINITIONS. In this Act: UAP: The term "Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena" means any object or phenomenon that lacks a prosaic attribution and displays performance characteristics that exceed the known envelope of United States or foreign adversary technology. NHI: The term "Non-Human Intelligence" means any sentient intelligent lifeform, or evidence thereof, that is not of human origin. Covered Sites: The term includes: (A) Oak Ridge National Laboratory; (B) Area 51 (Nevada Test and Training Range); (C) S4 (Papoose Lake facility); (D) Tonopah Test Range; (E) Battelle Memorial Institute facilities; (F) Los Alamos National Laboratory; (G) AND any facility, public or private, domestic or foreign, fixed or mobile, where UAP material, biological evidence, or derived technology is currently stored, tested, or exhibited; (H) AND any location to which such materials are transferred after the date of the enactment of this Act. SEC. 4. AMENDMENT OF ATOMIC ENERGY ACT (REMOVAL OF SECRECY). (a) Exemption from Restricted Data. Section 11(y) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 2014(y)) is amended by adding at the end the following: "The term 'Restricted Data' shall not include any information, material, or technology related to Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, Non-Human Intelligence, or propulsion systems derived from such phenomena, regardless of whether said technology utilizes atomic energy." (b) Supremacy. No provision of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 may be used to withhold UAP or NHI information from the appropriate committees of Congress. SEC. 5. PROHIBITION ON TRANSFER (THE "FREEZE" CLAUSE). (a) Immediate Freeze. Effective immediately upon the introduction of this Act, it shall be unlawful to transport, conceal, destroy, or alter any UAP material, craft, or biological evidence. (b) Chain of Custody. Any current custodian of UAP material must document its current location within 7 days. Moving this material to an undisclosed location to evade this Act shall constitute "Spoliation of Evidence" and Obstruction of Justice, punishable by a minimum of 10 years in Federal prison. SEC. 6. MANDATORY CONGRESSIONAL ACCESS. (a) Unfettered Access. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, Members of the Select Committee on Intelligence of the Senate and the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence of the House of Representatives (and their designated staff) shall have: Immediate, unannounced physical access to any Covered Site listed in Section 3; and The authority to enter any private or public facility identified by a whistleblower or the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) as a suspected repository of UAP material; and The authority to utilize ground-penetrating radar and independent physical search teams to verify compliance. (b) Penalty for Obstruction. Any refusal to grant entry to Members of Congress under this section shall constitute a felony punishable by not less than 5 years in Federal prison. SEC. 7. THE 180-DAY DISCLOSURE AND AMNESTY PERIOD. (a) Establishment. There is established a "Disclosure Window" beginning on the date of enactment of this Act and ending 180 days thereafter. (b) Immunity Provisions. Any person (including federal employees, military personnel, and private contractor employees) who, during the Disclosure Window, voluntarily discloses to Congress or the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) information, material, or biological evidence regarding UAP or NHI: Shall be granted full immunity from criminal prosecution for the prior mishandling or unauthorized retention of classified information; and Shall not be subject to any violation of a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) related to the disclosed subject matter. (c) Private Property Transfer. Private entities currently in possession of UAP material must transfer said material to the Federal Government within this 180-day window. In exchange for transfer, the entity shall receive fair market value compensation and immunity from prosecution for theft of government property. SEC. 8. POST-AMNESTY CRIMINAL LIABILITY (RICO). (a) RICO Predicate Offense. Effective 181 days after the enactment of this Act, Section 1961(1) of title 18, United States Code (relating to definition of racketeering activity), is amended by inserting the following: "...or (H) any act involving the concealment, obfuscation, or illegal funding of programs related to Non-Human Intelligence or Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena in violation of the UAP Transparency and Amnesty Act of 2026." (b) Application. Any group of individuals, agency, or corporation found to be conspiring to withhold UAP information after the expiration of the 180-day Disclosure Window shall be prosecuted as a "criminal enterprise" under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (18 U.S.C. §§ 1961–1968). SEC. 9. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. (a) The 90-Day Post-Amnesty Report. Not later than 90 days after the conclusion of the Disclosure Window (270 days after enactment), the Comptroller General of the United States shall submit to Congress and the public an unclassified report detailing: All individuals and entities that utilized the amnesty provision; An inventory of all recovered crafts, biological samples, and materials; and A summary of the history of the UAP reverse-engineering program. submitted by /u/thelazt1 [link] [comments]
