The senator has proposed a nine-person review board that would release scores of classified documents to the public.
Here's the legislation itself. It's damning. Specific, to the point, and justifies itself by claiming credible evidence and testimony exist to prove what Grusch has said.
Gist I get so far: All documentation of UAP is, by default, unclassified and set for immediate disclosure. If it's older than 25 years, it's declassified and released. Otherwise it goes through a review and at no more than 25 years it becomes public. There are outs to that of course, but MASSIVE step in the right direction. This thing is basically directly confirming what Grusch said is completely true and we are, in fact, not alone.
Edit: stupid me. Forgot to link to it.

How does it confirm what Grusch said was true? Seems like this is just the first step towards doing that, the real test being what the classified materials released as a result of this legislation actually say.
It does not confirm what Grusch says is true.
But it justifies itself by relying on the credibility of Grusch.
Confirmation of truth will come when this legislation becomes law. (Then again, I am a layman, foreigner to the US and I've only skimmed the PDF so don't rely on my quote!)
NDAA passed in the house today. Set to go to the Senate floor next week. So not much longer to go I guess.
I think there's still a quite a lot of legislating left on the NDAA. The house version of the bill does not have this amendment. I think it has something with narrower scope that doesn't create a review board.
The Senate hasn't adopted the Schumer bill into its NDAA. The text just came out. After the house and Senate pass their bills, it goes to conference committee, then the unified post-conference bill has to be passed in both chambers. Since NDAA is an annual bill, and last year's version passed in December, I'm guessing it's still got a while to go.
