H.R. 9585
This bill modifies the Export-Import Bank Act of 1945 to expand support for American quantum technology exports. Specifically, it broadens the scope of the Export-Import Bank's "Program on China and Transformational Exports" to cover quantum information science and technology more comprehensively, rather than just quantum computing alone. The Export-Import Bank is a federal agency that provides financing and insurance to help American businesses export goods and services internationally. By expanding this program, the bill aims to give American quantum technology companies greater access to export financing tools as they compete globally and particularly against Chinese competitors. The legislation contains no new funding requirements or specific implementation timelines, as it simply amends existing export finance authority to include a broader range of quantum technologies under an established program.
