The Export Controls Enforcement Improvement Act of 2024 creates a new Export Enforcement Coordination Center within the Department of Homeland Security to coordinate export control enforcement across nine federal agencies, including State, Treasury, Defense, Justice, Commerce, Energy, and intelligence offices. The Center will work to prevent illegal transshipment and diversion of sensitive technologies like semiconductors, artificial intelligence, and quantum components, particularly to China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea, while serving as a central hub for law enforcement and intelligence agencies to share information and resolve conflicts. The bill authorizes $25 million in funding for fiscal year 2025 to establish the Center and requires the Director to submit two reports to Congress within 180 days and one year assessing the value of posting U.S. law enforcement officials abroad and hosting foreign officials at the Center. This legislation affects federal agencies responsible for export enforcement, private companies involved in international trade, and foreign governments targeted for export control efforts.
