Chip Security Act

United States · United States Congress · 15 May 2025

Chip Security Act This bill requires covered integrated circuit products (e.g., advanced computing chips) to incorporate certain security mechanisms. Specifically, the bill directs the Department of Commerce to require any covered integrated circuit product to have chip security mechanisms that implement location verification before the product is exported, reexported, or in-country transferred to or in a foreign country. Commerce must require any person that has received a license or other authorization under the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 to export, reexport, or in-country transfer a covered product to promptly report to Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security if the person obtains credible information that the product has been diverted away from its intended location or has been subjected to tampering. Additionally, Commerce must conduct an assessment and report to Congress on whether additional chip security mechanisms should be adopted. If Commerce determines additional security measures are necessary, then Commerce must require any covered product to include the secondary chip security mechanisms before the product is exported, reexported, or in-country transferred to or in a foreign country. The bill authorizes Commerce to take certain enforcement actions, such as verifying the ownership and location of a covered product that has been exported, reexported, or in-country transferred to or in a foreign country. Commerce must, within two years of the bill's enactment and annually thereafter for three years, assess new chip security mechanisms and report to Congress.

ANTE Act

United States · United States Congress · 23 May 2025

Axing Nonmarket Tariff Evasion Act or the ANTE Act This bill authorizes the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) to investigate and take remedial action against covered entities that evade or attempt to evade duties (i.e., tariffs) that were imposed on nonmarket economy countries (e.g., China) by investing in other countries. Under the bill, a covered entity (e.g., business) (1) is owned, controlled, subject to the jurisdiction or direction of, or operated by a nonmarket economy country; and (2) includes an entity for which, on any date during the most recent 12-month period, at least 25% of the equity interests in such entity were held directly or indirectly by one or more entities organized under the laws of a nonmarket economy country. Currently, Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 allows the USTR to impose tariffs in response to actions by foreign countries that violate U.S. rights under international trade agreements or that burden or restrict U.S. commerce in unjustifiable, unreasonable, or discriminatory ways. In 2018, for example, the USTR used Section 301 to impose tariffs on many imports from China. This bill allows the USTR to investigate whether a covered entity is establishing or has established investments (e.g., manufacturing operations) in another country that is not subject to Section 301 tariffs in order to evade those tariffs. Upon an affirmative determination, the USTR may impose certain remedial measures, such as imposing a tariff equivalent to the original tariff on goods associated with the nonmarket economy country.

Special Drawing Rights are international reserve assets created by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to supplement member countries' official foreign exchange reserves. Specifically, the Department of the Treasury must instruct certain U.S. officials at the IMF to oppose any such increase unless Treasury has certified that China is in compliance with certain standards and international agreements, including that (1) China is in compliance with all general obligations of members of the IMF, (2) China has not been found to have manipulated its currency in the preceding 12 months, and (3) China adheres to the rules and principles of the Paris Club and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Arrangement on Officially Supported Export Credits.

Leveling the Playing Field 2.0 Act

United States · United States Congress · 24 February 2025

Leveling the Playing Field 2.0 Act This bill addresses unfair trade practices by making various changes to U.S. antidumping and countervailing duty laws. Antidumping laws provide relief to U.S industries and workers that are materially injured or threatened with injury due to imports of like products sold in the U.S. market at less than fair value, while countervailing duty laws provide such relief from imports of products subsidized by a foreign government or public entity. Specifically, the bill establishes a process for successive antidumping and countervailing duty investigations. Successive investigations may be concurrent (an ongoing investigation of the same product) or recently completed (not more than two years before the date of the initiation of the successive investigation). Further, the bill establishes a timeline for the Department of Commerce to issue determinations in successive investigations. Among other provisions, the bill authorizes Commerce to apply countervailing duty law to subsidies provided by a foreign government or public entity to a company operating in a different country, use another method for calculating the cost of production in specific circumstances, and require importers to certify that the imported merchandise is not subject to an antidumping or countervailing duty order. Additionally, the bill statutorily establishes procedures for Commerce to conduct circumvention inquiries, including by specifying the deadlines for preliminary and final determinations. The bill also provides statutory authority for Commerce to investigate currency undervaluation as a countervailable subsidy.

Save Our Shrimpers Act

Under current law, Treasury must instruct U.S. leadership of international financial institutions to oppose providing financial assistance for the production or extraction of any commodity or mineral for export if (1) the commodity or mineral is in surplus on world markets, and (2) the export of such commodity or mineral will cause substantial injury to U.S. producers of a competing commodity or mineral (or of the same or a similar commodity or mineral). This bill requires the Government Accountability Office to investigate and annually report to Congress on the extent to which U.S. leadership at these institutions have carried out Treasury's instructions.

Stop Stealing our Chips Act

United States · United States Congress · 28 November 2025

Stop Stealing our Chips Act This bill creates a whistleblower incentive program and establishes whistleblower protections for individuals who provide information to the Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) related to violations of U.S. export control laws.  Currently, BIS administers and enforces controls on the export of dual-use goods (e.g., items with both civilian and military uses) and certain military parts and components. These export controls are implemented primarily under the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 (ECRA) through the Export Administration Regulations. Under the bill, BIS must establish a whistleblower incentive program to reward individuals who voluntarily report original information that results in BIS (1) imposing fines under ECRA on persons that violate, attempt to violate, conspire to violate, or cause a violation of ECRA or any related regulation, order, license, or authorization; or (2) requiring the forfeiture of property that results in net proceeds. Additionally, BIS must establish a secure online portal for whistleblowers to report violations of ECRA. The bill outlines requirements for BIS to review, investigate, and provide status updates related to these reports. The bill requires BIS to pay an award to certain whistleblowers who voluntarily reported original information that led to the imposition of a fine under ECRA. The bill establishes the Export Compliance Accountability Fund for paying these awards and funding related activities. The bill also sets forth whistleblower protections by (1) prohibiting employers from impeding communication or retaliating against individuals who act as whistleblowers, and (2) establishing confidentiality requirements.
