This bill updates the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 to require a biennial presidential plan on how Commerce will help U.S. businesses, especially small and medium-sized ones, with export licensing and compliance. It also requires the Bureau of Industry and Security to host an annual public conference, conduct outreach before major new rules, and expand its annual report to Congress with data on compliance requests, processing times, and public guidance documents.
U.S. companies that export goods or technology, particularly smaller businesses without large compliance teams, and the Department of Commerce, which takes on new outreach, training, and reporting duties.
The changes aim to make export rules clearer and reduce accidental violations while adding new administrative responsibilities for Commerce.
