If enacted, the bill would let the Export-Import Bank board set pay for up to 100 Bank employees without following standard federal pay rules. That could let those employees receive higher or different compensation than the usual federal pay schedules allow. The bill does not appropriate money or list pay amounts. The Bank board would decide which employees get this authority.
If enacted, the bill would require the Export-Import Bank to exclude certain nuclear-related financing from its default-rate calculation. The exclusion would apply to financing for civil nuclear facilities, materials, or technology and to financing made under section 2(l). Those excluded loans would not count toward the Bank's measured default rate under the statute. That could make nuclear export loans appear less risky to lenders and borrowers, but the bill does not change loan amounts or add funds.

Civil penalties can reach the greater of $250,000 or twice the transaction value and regulators can order divestment. - Foreign persons tied to China that meet the bill's definition of a covered foreign person could be designated and hit with IEEPA-based sanctions that block property and bar transactions.
