To the point

A new All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office is created within the DoD, in coordination with the DNI, to assume the duties of the former UAP Task Force and lead coordinated collection, reporting, and analysis of unidentified anomalous phenomena across the DoD and intelligence community, including adverse physiological effects, assess national security threats, coordinate with agencies and allies, designate rapid field investigators and line organizations, engage outside experts with proper clearances, ensure data access, develop intelligence and science plans to explain observed phenomena, and report to Congress annually (unclassified with possible classified annex) and in semiannual briefings, while undergoing Comptroller General audits, with 2023 and 2024 amendments clarifying naming, liaison with the Counter-UAS Task Force, limits on independent R&D funding, and termination of the prior Task Force upon the Office’s establishment.
