Sponsored By: Representative Crow, Jason [D-CO-6]

In Committee

Summary

Modernize the Bureau of Industry and Security's IT and data systems to speed export-control decisions and map foreign industrial links. This bill sets priorities for data fusion, data sharing, and AI readiness while directing work to identify evasive trade patterns and foreign military-commercial linkages.

Show full summary
  • BIS operations: Requires a unified case and customer relationship management system, plus data fusion, analytics, and external data feeds to reduce manual review and improve user experience. The Under Secretary must reassess staffing needs during modernization.
  • Exporters and industry: Aims to streamline and standardize export license adjudication and expand secure data-sharing interfaces with industry, other federal agencies, and international partners. This should make licensing decisions more consistent and data-driven.
  • National security and partners: Directs faster deliberations on the Entity List, Military End User List, and Unverified List tied to countries of concern. It also directs mapping of the PRC defense industrial base and commercial links involving the PRC, Russia, Iran, and North Korea.

*Authorizes $25 million per year for FY2026–FY2029, totaling $100 million in authorized appropriations, subject to future appropriations.*

Faster export license reviews for businesses

If enacted, this bill would authorize $25,000,000 for each fiscal year 2026 through 2029, subject to appropriations. It would direct the Under Secretary to modernize BIS information technology through fiscal year 2030. BIS would replace its main IT systems with a unified case and customer system and add data fusion, analytics, supply‑chain tools, and decision support. The bill would expand safe data sharing with industry, other federal agencies (including the intelligence community), and international partners. It would also require improved Entity List processes to track military end users and evasive trade patterns, require pre‑adoption analysis of candidate IT solutions, and reassess BIS staffing during modernization.
