WASHINGTON — Congressman Ronny Jackson (TX-13) reintroduced the Maintaining American Superiority by Improving Export Control Transparency Act. This legislation promotes transparency in the export control process for American goods and technologies sent overseas. Specifically, it would authorize disclosures to Congress of each export control license application, clarifying the applicant, the recipient, the decision made, and the compliance measures implemented to uphold U.S. export regulations. Representative Sara Jacobs (CA-51) is co-leading this bill in the House, and Senator Jim Banks (R-IN) is championing the companion bill in the Senate.
"The growing threat and cooperation of adversarial nations only underscore the importance of ensuring greater transparency and accountability in America’s export control process,” said Rep. Ronny Jackson. “This legislation is essential to equipping Congress with the tools necessary to support President Trump’s mission to fortify our national security while ensuring America remains at the forefront of technological innovation.”
“Our export controls too often fail to prevent sensitive American technology from being sold to firms tied to the Chinese military,” said Sen. Jim Banks. “I’ve introduced bipartisan legislation to give Congress the information we need to prevent American technologies from falling into the hands of our adversaries. My bill with Senator Warner and Rep. Ronny Jackson protects American tech from China and puts our national security first.”
“I’m proud to support this bipartisan legislation to ensure more transparency around what the United States exports from nuclear materials to chemicals to high-end technology,” said Rep. Sara Jacobs.
