AI Summary

This bill, the Competitive Need Limitations Modernization Act of 2017, amends the Trade Act of 1974 to revise the competitive need limitation (CNL) review process. Specifically, it changes the deadline for the CNL review process from July 1 to October 15, and updates the relevant domestic production time frame for such review from January 1, 1995 to the preceding three calendar years.
