Stop Stealing our Chips Act

Chamber Passed·5/21/26

Stop Stealing our Chips Act establishes a whistleblower incentive program and protections for those reporting violations of U.S. export control laws.

The Stop Stealing our Chips Act amends the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 to create a whistleblower incentive program. This program rewards individuals who provide original information leading to fines for violations of U.S. export control laws. The bill also establishes protections for whistleblowers, prohibiting retaliation by employers. It mandates the Department of Commerce to develop a secure online portal for whistleblower reports and sets criteria for determining award amounts based on factors like accuracy and usefulness of the information.
