Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would bar the federal government from collecting fees, revenue-sharing payments, or other money in exchange for a company receiving or keeping an export license under the Export Control Reform Act of 2018. Any money already collected this way could only be used to repay the license holder. Within 30 days of the bill becoming law, the Secretary of Commerce would have to return the full amount collected to each license holder. The bill also states that it does not authorize any export fee on semiconductors.
