Bill > HR2683

This bill, titled the "Remote Access Security Act," amends the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 to include "remote access" as a controlled activity, defining it as purposeful, knowing, reckless, or negligent access to U.S.-controlled items by a foreign person through a network connection from outside the item's physical location, if such access poses a serious national security risk. The bill expands the scope of existing export control provisions to cover remote access, allowing the Secretary of Commerce to regulate it similarly to exports and in-country transfers of items. It also mandates that the Secretary of Commerce consult with specific congressional committees regarding any new regulations on remote access, informing them about the national security risks, how the regulations address them, and potential economic impacts, though this consultation does not require committee approval before regulations are enacted.
