Bill > S4486

This bill, the Defense Technology Report Parity Act, aims to strengthen provisions related to employment transparency for individuals performing work in the People's Republic of China (China). The key provisions include: 1) Requiring covered companies (contractors that conduct software development in China) to disclose whether any Chinese government or non-governmental entity has requested or acquired data from the company under China's National Intelligence Law or similar requirements; 2) Mandating that covered companies describe their process for disclosing software vulnerabilities to Chinese authorities and how U.S. affiliates are notified; and 3) Requiring the Secretary to revise regulations to ensure companies are notified within 48 hours if they report software vulnerabilities to Chinese authorities and that they retain and provide that information to the Department of Defense.
