Bill Summary

A BILL To amend the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 to establish a whistleblower incentive program and provide protections to whistleblowers.

AI Summary

This bill establishes a comprehensive whistleblower incentive and protection program for export control violations, specifically targeting the unauthorized transfer of advanced technology like artificial intelligence chips to adversarial countries. The program allows individuals (including non-U.S. citizens) to voluntarily report potential export control violations through a secure online portal, with the option to remain anonymous. Whistleblowers who provide original, credible information that leads to significant fines (over $1 million) can receive between 10% and 30% of the collected fine as a reward. The bill includes strong protections against employer retaliation, such as prohibiting discharge, demotion, or harassment, and provides potential remedies like reinstatement and double back pay for whistleblowers who face discrimination. An "Export Compliance Accountability Fund" will be created to manage whistleblower awards and support program activities. The program is designed to enhance national security by encouraging reporting of export control violations, particularly those involving cutting-edge technologies that could potentially threaten U.S. interests. Certain individuals are excluded from the program, such as federal employees acting within their official duties or individuals on specific government watchlists.
