Bill > HR6058

This bill, known as the Semiconductor Technology Resilience, Integrity, and Defense Enhancement Act (STRIDE Act), aims to strengthen the United States' semiconductor technology supply chain and prevent technological capture by adversaries, particularly China. The bill establishes a comprehensive policy framework requiring the Secretary of State to coordinate with allied nations to protect critical semiconductor technologies through multilateral efforts. Key provisions include aligning export control policies, expanding restrictions on technology transfers, harmonizing approaches to controlling dual-use materials, creating joint monitoring mechanisms, and establishing trusted supplier networks. The legislation mandates regular assessments of international cooperation, with potential consequences for countries deemed insufficient in preventing technology transfers to countries of concern. If a country fails to implement adequate security measures, the bill allows for enhanced foreign direct product rule applications, potential entity list expansions, and recommendations to prevent technology backfilling. The Secretary of State must submit quarterly reports to congressional committees detailing diplomatic engagement, progress toward coordination objectives, and the effectiveness of multilateral efforts. The bill broadly defines semiconductor technology to include integrated circuits, manufacturing equipment, design software, materials, and essential technological components, with a primary goal of maintaining U.S. and allied technological leadership while preventing adversarial technological advancement.
