Amends the law that governs the Foundation for Energy Security and Innovation by adding limits on who may serve as voting Board members, the Executive Director, officers, and employees. It allows only U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, refugees admitted under 8 U.S.C. 1157, or lawful permanent residents to hold those roles, prohibits Department of Energy employees from serving as voting Board members, and requires the Foundation to follow specified security rules and related statutory security provisions.
The change forces the Foundation and its partners to adopt security-screening and governance practices consistent with other national-security provisions, which will affect hiring, board composition, and how the Foundation coordinates with DOE and external partners.
Referred to the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology.
Introduced February 14, 2025 by Daniel A. Webster · Last progress February 14, 2025
