Bill Summary
The proposal would create a new office within the State Department focused on controlling exports of sensitive materials and technology while also managing border security issues related to weapons and dangerous items. This office would work to prevent countries and groups on the U.S. government's watch list from obtaining materials that could be used to build weapons or cause harm. The change would affect companies that export goods internationally, border security agencies, and foreign policy officials who work on nonproliferation issues.
