Strategic Export Controls and Border Security Enhancement Act

This bill authorizes the State Department to set up an Office of Export Controls and Border Security within its Bureau of Arms Control and Nonproliferation. The office would help partner countries build laws, licensing systems, training, and equipment to stop the diversion or misuse of goods and technology that could be used for weapons of mass destruction, including dual-use items. The Secretary of State would have to develop a strategy for U.S. export control assistance, which could include the use of artificial intelligence tools. The Secretary would report on that strategy to Congress within 180 days of enactment. The Secretary could also set procedures to coordinate border security assistance across several State Department bureaus.
