ICTS Supply Chain Security Act of 2026

This bill would create a new Assistant Secretary of Commerce and an Office of Information and Communications Technology and Services within the Bureau of Industry and Security. It would prohibit transactions involving technology or services from companies tied to China, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, or Russia when the Commerce Secretary determines they pose undue or unacceptable risks to U.S. security. The office could require mitigation measures and approve transactions that meet them, with exceptions for expressive materials and open-source software. Violations could bring criminal fines up to $1,000,000 and up to 20 years in prison, or civil fines, and legal challenges would go only to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals within 180 days. The new authorities would end 5 years after enactment.
