Show full summary
- It would change the rulemaking process so the Secretaries of State, Defense, or Energy can submit proposals to the Export Administration Review Board. The Board must act within 30 days and a simple majority acceptance would start rulemaking, with one member able to extend the deadline up to another 30 days if needed.
- Within 30 days after enactment the State Department would evaluate the People’s Republic of China’s military‑civil fusion and its implications for export policy. The review must address exploitation of U.S. technology, civilian status of PRC entities, reliability of end‑use checks, links between strategic tech sectors and the military, and exporter due diligence.
- The Secretary would consider specific policy changes within 90 days, including additions to the Military End‑User List, tighter military end‑use restrictions, and new or amended Export Administration Regulations. A report to Congress on the review, any proposed rules, Board‑approved policy changes, and recommended legal changes is due within 150 days.

China export-control review and proposals
If enacted, the Secretary of State would review China’s military‑civil fusion and its risks to U.S. export policy within 30 days. Within 90 days, the Secretary would consider sending proposed changes to the Export Administration Review Board. Examples include adding names to the Military End‑User List, tightening export or end‑use limits, or adopting the 2024 Federal Register end‑use rule. Not later than 150 days, the Secretary would send Congress a report with the review, any proposed rules, Board‑approved policy changes, and recommended law changes.
Faster export rule votes and definitions
If enacted, the bill would change the statutory word 'consultation' to 'coordination' for interagency export rulemaking. The Export Administration Review Board would have to vote on Secretary‑submitted proposals within 30 days. If the Board accepts a proposal by simple majority, the proposing Secretary would begin rulemaking. A Board member may extend the 30‑day deadline by up to 30 more days only if they request more information and the proposing member agrees. The bill would also add definitions for the congressional committees, the Military End‑User List, the Operating Committee for Export Policy, and 'Secretary' as the Secretary of State.
