To amend the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 relating to the statement of policy.

HR 6606 amends the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 to add a new policy statement protecting U.S. trade secrets. The bill specifically requires the Secretary to consider safeguarding trade secrets related to export-controlled items or cases of economic espionage (under 18 U.S.C. § 1831) when implementing export controls. This change directly affects companies and entities handling sensitive technologies subject to U.S. export regulations. The amendment clarifies an existing policy goal within the law but does not create new regulations or enforcement mechanisms. It is a procedural update to the statutory policy framework.
