## Summary

**Creates a national security review regime for information and communications technology and services (ICTS) in connected vehicles.** It would set up an Office inside the Bureau of Industry and Security to screen covered transactions, require mitigation or prohibition, and give broad rulemaking, investigative, and enforcement powers. - Manufacturers and suppliers: Would face mandatory reviews of transactions involving connected-vehicle ICTS and could be required to adopt cybersecurity standards, remove specified components, accept binding mitigation agreements, or be blocked from a deal. - Foreign entities and jurisdictions of concern: The bill explicitly flags China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea and targets entities on the Entity List. The Director of National Intelligence must submit risk assessments within 180 days and annually to guide reviews. - Enforcement and penalties: Investigators could subpoena documents, issue temporary denial orders, and seek court enforcement. Willful violations could bring criminal penalties up to $1,000,000 per violation and up to 20 years in prison.
