Summary
To amend the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 to permit the Secretary of State, Defense, or Energy to submit proposed rules to the Export Administration Review Board, to require the Secretary of State to evaluate the military civil fusion strategy of the People's Republic of China, and for other purposes.
Plain-language summary
This bill would change how the U.S. government makes decisions about what technology and goods can be exported to other countries. It would let the Secretaries of State, Defense, or Energy propose new export control rules to a review board that currently only receives proposals from the Commerce Department. The bill also requires the State Department to study China's strategy of combining military and civilian technology development. Export controls are government rules that restrict selling certain advanced items overseas for national security reasons. The bill is currently in its early stages after being introduced in Congress.
