BIS IT Modernization Act

HR 9247, the BIS IT Modernization Act, requires the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) to replace outdated information technology systems with a unified environment by 2029. The bill mandates adopting advanced data tools to streamline export license reviews, improve tracking of military end uses in countries of concern, and enhance data sharing with industry and partners. It specifically directs BIS to reduce manual processing, strengthen cybersecurity, and facilitate easier access for U.S. exporters using its systems. The act authorizes $25 million annually (2025-2028) to fund these modernization efforts.
