- U.S. exporters and technology companies could face faster changes to export rules. The Secretary of State must complete a review within 30 days and agencies must consider policy changes within 90 days, including possible additions to the Military End-User List, new controls on specific military end uses, or a final rule tied to the July 29, 2024 Federal Register notice.

Faster export rule review for exporters
This bill would require the Secretary of State to finish a review within 30 days of enactment. The review would examine how China’s military-civil fusion affects U.S. export controls and national security. The Secretary would consult other agencies and consider policy changes within 90 days. Changes could include adding entities to the Military End-User List, new export rules, or finalizing the July 29, 2024 proposed rule. The Export Administration Review Board would vote on each proposal within 30 days, with one 30-day extension allowed by agreement. The Secretary would send Congress a report within 150 days listing the review, any proposed rules, Board-approved changes, and recommended law changes. If enacted, U.S. exporters would likely face faster rulemaking and new compliance obligations.
