To amend the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 to provide for a ten-year statute of limitations for export control violations.

This legislation aims to amend the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 by doubling the current statute of limitations for violations. Under the proposal, federal authorities would have a ten-year window to bring civil or criminal charges against individuals or companies accused of illegally exporting sensitive technologies or goods. This change would align export control enforcement with other national security-related statutes of limitations.

If enacted, the bill would give investigators and prosecutors more time to uncover and build cases involving complex international trade schemes. For everyday citizens and businesses, this means that records related to the export of regulated items would likely need to be maintained for a longer period to ensure legal compliance. The proposal reflects an effort to enhance the government's ability to penalize the unauthorized transfer of American technology to foreign adversaries or restricted entities.
