H.R.4505

Export Controls Enforcement Act aims to enhance U.S. export control enforcement by increasing the number of export control officers stationed abroad.

The Export Controls Enforcement Act seeks to strengthen enforcement of U.S. export controls by increasing the number of export control officers stationed in foreign regions. The bill mandates the Secretary of Commerce to establish an Export Control Officer Program, stationing at least 20 officers at U.S. diplomatic or consular posts. These officers will conduct end-use checks, advise diplomatic posts, and liaise with foreign governments and the private sector.
