Semiconductor Controls Effectiveness Act of 2026

It is the sense of Congress that—

(1) United States export controls on semiconductor manufacturing equipment and advanced integrated circuits are critical for United States national security and the Artificial Intelligence race with the People’s Republic of China (PRC);

(2) the efficacy of export controls requires rigorous, data-driven evaluation and assessment;

(3) export controls on semiconductor manufacturing equipment and advanced integrated circuits to the PRC have impacted the PRC’s military modernization efforts, indigenous semiconductor industry, and advanced artificial intelligence development; and

(4) given the stakes of the strategic and technology competition with the PRC, the American public benefits from public disclosure of the real-world data and impact analysis to understand the national security, foreign policy, and economic impact of specific export control policies.
