Bill > HR4000

This bill prohibits non-U.S. citizens from accessing or entering any site or facility owned, operated, or leased by the Department of Energy, with a specific exception for citizens of the "Five Eyes" countries (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom). The restriction will take effect 60 days after the bill's enactment, and during this time, the Secretary of Energy is required to update and revise all relevant regulations, guidelines, policies, and procedures to implement the new access restrictions. The "Five Eyes" is an intelligence alliance comprising these five English-speaking countries that have a long-standing agreement to share sensitive information. The bill aims to enhance security at Department of Energy sites by limiting physical access to U.S. citizens and citizens of these close allied nations, effectively creating a more restricted entry policy for international personnel at these potentially sensitive technological and scientific facilities.
