Connected Vehicle National Security Review Act

Adds a new Office of Information and Communications Technology and Services into the Export Control Reform Act framework, updates a statutory definition to reference a new part, and requires annual reporting on how the new authorities are used to stop ‘‘entities of concern’’ from acquiring sensitive technology. It also creates an additional Assistant Secretary position at the Department of Commerce to support implementation of the new part.

The change focuses on strengthening export-control authorities and institutional capacity at Commerce to oversee and report on efforts to prevent targeted foreign entities from obtaining covered technologies. The bill adjusts reporting content and departmental staffing but does not itself appropriate funding.
