Legislative Progress
Key Points
- This bill requires the Department of Commerce to study the companies that build the hardware and software for our internet and phone networks. The goal is to make sure the U.S. is not relying too much on 'untrusted' companies that could pose a risk to national security.
- Within one year, officials must identify which technologies are most important for the country to stay competitive. They will also look at whether American companies have what they need to build these parts themselves or buy them from safe, reliable partners.
- The government would be required to create a master plan to support safe tech companies. This plan would include suggestions for new laws, changes to government programs, or extra funding needed to keep our communication systems secure from foreign threats.
