Bill > HR5712

This bill establishes the Commission on American Quantum Information Science and Technology Dominance, a 12-member independent commission tasked with examining and making recommendations about emerging quantum information science. The commission will include members appointed by Senate and House leadership, with half being members of Congress and half being external experts in quantum technologies, national security, and related fields. The commission's two-year mission involves conducting a comprehensive review of the United States' capabilities, competitiveness, and strategic positioning in quantum information science, with a focus on national and economic security. They will investigate global technological competition, research and development strategies, workforce development, commercialization barriers, international standards, and technology transfer. The commission is required to submit an interim report after one year and a final report after two years to Congress and the President, which will be primarily unclassified but may include a classified annex. The commission will have broad authority to coordinate with federal agencies, accept expert consultations, use government resources, and receive cooperation from various departments. The commission will be funded through appropriated funds and will terminate 540 days after submitting its final report, representing a time-limited but intensive examination of quantum technological capabilities and potential.
