MODERATE
The bill was renumbered and reorganized to include a formal declaration of an emergency. Substantively, the investigation scope was expanded to include a broader range of foreign entities and supply chain risks, and the confidentiality of the resulting reports was strengthened to prevent public release.
Scope change
The bill's scope expanded from focusing solely on US Armed Forces to also include attacks on critical infrastructure, supply chains, and businesses. It now explicitly covers a wider array of foreign entities, including state-owned enterprises and companies owned by foreign firms.
REQUIREMENT

Added a formal declaration of an emergency to the legislative findings.

Strengthened confidentiality requirements by explicitly stating that reports cannot be released under specific state public records laws.

SCOPE

Expanded the investigation criteria to include state-owned enterprises, companies owned by foreign entities, and those utilizing supply chains in conflict zones, beyond just direct production in those regions.

TIMELINE

Added a requirement for a final analysis and recommendations to be completed within one year, in addition to the initial 180-day findings.
