Biological Intellectual Property Protection Act of 2025

This bill would amend the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 to require a license to send digital sequences of synthetic DNA or RNA to foreign entities of concern. Within one year of enactment, the Secretary would have to require a license for the export, reexport, or in-country transfer of these sequences, whether designed by humans or artificial intelligence systems. Foreign entities of concern include governments of foreign countries of concern, people or organizations under their jurisdiction or laws, and those they own or control. Information covered by a listed section of the Export Administration Regulations would be exempt. The bill also includes a statement of Congress's views about China's efforts to access U.S. data and intellectual property.
