## Summary

**remote access** is defined and folded into U.S. export law so foreign persons who reach controlled items over a network or cloud can be regulated like physical exports. The Act keeps the existing criminal intent standard and makes the Secretary of Commerce report planned remote‑access rules to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, including the security risk, regulatory methods, and economic impact. - Foreign users: Foreign persons who access items subject to U.S. jurisdiction via a network can be regulated, controlled, or penalized under the same export rules that apply to physical exports. - U.S. tech and service providers: Companies that host, provide, or enable remote access to controlled items may be subject to new controls, reporting, or restrictions tied to those remote connections. - Regulators and Congress: The Department of Commerce must keep the two named congressional committees fully informed about any anticipated regulations on remote access, including risks, how rules will work, and effects on the U.S. economy.
