HR 8689 United States House · 119th Congress

Strategic Export Controls and Border Security Enhancement Act

This bill establishes a new Office of Export Controls and Border Security within the U.S. Department of State to help partner countries prevent the spread of weapons of mass destruction. The Office will train foreign nations on how to better regulate the export of sensitive technologies and goods that could be misused for military purposes. It also requires the Secretary of State to create a coordinated strategy using advanced analytics to identify risks and strengthen global supply chain security. Additionally, the legislation mandates that different parts of the State Department work together to avoid duplicating efforts in border security assistance.
