Bill Summary

The government currently has no time limit for prosecuting companies or individuals who illegally export controlled items like weapons or advanced technology. This bill would set a ten-year deadline after which the government can no longer bring charges for export control violations, giving businesses and individuals more certainty about their legal exposure over time. The change would apply to violations of laws that control what sensitive goods and technology can be shipped overseas.
