Bill Analysis
Bill Summary: HR 6603 - No Technology for Terror Act
The No Technology for Terror Act (HR 6603) aims to prevent the transfer of sensitive technologies to foreign entities that may pose a national security threat, particularly those linked to terrorism. The bill establishes a framework for identifying and restricting the export of critical technologies to foreign adversaries, thereby safeguarding U.S. interests.
Key Provisions:
Technology Export Restrictions: The bill mandates the Secretary of Commerce to develop and implement regulations that restrict the export of certain technologies to foreign entities identified as threats. This includes technologies that could be used for surveillance, military applications, or other activities that may enhance terrorist capabilities.
Assessment of Foreign Entities: The legislation requires a comprehensive assessment of foreign entities that receive U.S. technology. The assessment will evaluate their potential to misuse such technology for terrorist activities or to support terrorism.
Collaboration with Agencies: The bill emphasizes collaboration among federal agencies, including the Departments of Defense, State, and Homeland Security, to ensure a cohesive approach to technology export controls.
Funding: While the bill does not specify funding amounts, it authorizes necessary appropriations to support the implementation of its provisions, including the establishment of a review process and the development of technology classification criteria.
Affected Programs/Agencies: The bill primarily impacts the Department of Commerce, which will oversee the export control regulations, and other federal agencies involved in national security and intelligence.
Beneficiaries and Regulation: The primary beneficiaries of the bill are U.S. national security interests and the general public, as it aims to prevent the proliferation of technologies that could enhance terrorist capabilities. The bill regulates foreign entities deemed a threat to U.S. security.
Timeline: After its introduction, HR 6603 was received in the Senate, read twice, and referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs for further consideration. Further actions and timelines will depend on the committee’s review and subsequent legislative processes.
