Private Intelligence Regulation Act

The Office of State Intelligence may approve, deny, suspend, revoke, or provisionally recognize any Private Intelligence Entity seeking registration. The Director of State Intelligence retains sole discretion over all eligibility requirements, recognition standards, and review procedures.

The OSI may issue Operational Clearances to members of recognized Private Intelligence Entities. Individuals seeking clearance may be required to complete background checks, interviews, affiliate disclosures, confidentiality agreements, and OSI-approved training. Clearances may be suspended or revoked at any time by the Director or their designee.

State Intelligence Material may only be disseminated to authorized persons, for authorized operational purposes, and on a need-to-know basis. The OSI may establish classification categories, handling standards, dissemination restrictions, storage requirements, retention schedules, and destruction procedures.

No recognized Private Intelligence Entity may represent itself as a governmental law enforcement or intelligence agency unless expressly authorized. Without OSI authorization, entities may not exercise peace officer powers, compel testimony, execute detentions, access restricted governmental systems, or conduct operations under state authority.

No recognized entity or cleared individual may publicly disclose protected intelligence material, disseminate intelligence for personal or political gain, provide intelligence material to hostile organizations, distribute protected information to unauthorized persons, or falsify intelligence records or investigative findings.

The Office of Oversight and Compliance serves as the designated oversight authority, responsible for auditing recognized entities, reviewing dissemination practices, investigating misconduct, and conducting inspections and compliance reviews. Recognized entities must comply with all lawful OOC directions and audits.

Violations of the PIRA may result in suspension of recognition, revocation of Operational Clearance, termination of partnerships, administrative sanctions, or referral for criminal investigation. The OSI may immediately suspend operational cooperation with any entity deemed to present a security, operational, or integrity risk to the State.
