Federal SB5381 mandates an analysis of threats posed by foreign adversary access to controlled items within the United States.

Federal SB5381, also known as the "ADVERSARIES Act," requires the Under Secretary of the Bureau of Industry and Security of the Department of Commerce to review the impact on U.S. export control effectiveness by operations of U.S.-domiciled affiliates of foreign adversaries. The review must address whether these affiliates can acquire items restricted to their ultimate parent companies due to U.S. export controls. It must also assess any undue risks posed by specific sectors of foreign-adversary controlled items and recommend changes to U.S. law to address identified threats.
