Read twice and referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.
The ICTS Supply Chain Security Act of 2026 establishes new federal authority to restrict or block transactions involving information and communications technology from designated countries of concern, including China, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and Russia. The bill creates a new Assistant Secretary of Commerce position and an Office of Information and Communications Technology and Services within the Commerce Department to oversee these restrictions and identify transactions that pose risks to U.S. critical infrastructure or national security. The legislation prohibits acquisitions, imports, or use of covered technology and services from these countries unless the government determines that mitigation measures can address security risks, with exceptions for open-source software and expressive materials like news and publications. Violations carry steep penalties, including civil fines up to $1.5 million or five times the transaction value, plus criminal penalties of up to $1 million in fines and 20 years imprisonment for willful violations. The authority granted under this bill automatically expires five years after enactment, and the government is required to submit annual reports to Congress on actions taken.
