ADVERSARIES Act

The ADVERSARIES Act requires the Under Secretary of the Bureau of Industry and Security to conduct a review within 90 days of enactment regarding how U.S.-based affiliates of foreign entities on the Entity List or Military End User List might be acquiring controlled items that their parent companies are restricted from accessing. The review must also assess national security risks posed by foreign adversary exploitation of vulnerabilities in information and communications technology, including whether specific sectors pose undue risk to export control effectiveness. Following the review, officials must submit a report to relevant congressional committees detailing their findings, any planned actions to address identified threats within the next year, and recommendations for changes to U.S. law.
