ADVERSARIES Act

This bill requires the Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security, through its Office of Information and Communications Technology and Services, to complete a review within 90 days of enactment. The review would examine whether U.S.-based companies that are 50 percent or more owned by entities on the federal Entity List or Military End User List can obtain items their parent companies are barred from getting under U.S. export controls. It would also look at national security risks from information and communications technology and services controlled by foreign adversaries. The review must describe planned agency steps for the next year and any recommended changes to U.S. law. Results must be given to specific House and Senate committees within 30 days after the review is completed.
