Senators Ricketts (R-NE) and Coons (D-DE), with four co-sponsors, introduced legislation to codify the Trump Administration's AI chip export controls into statute, prohibiting advanced semiconductor sales to designated foreign adversary countries for a minimum 30 months, with Congressional briefing requirements before any Executive Branch updates. The bill defines scope (chips exceeding current licensed export parameters) and oversight (End-User Review Committee majority vote, Federal Register publication). This locks current policy into law, reducing Executive unilateral discretion and institutionalizing an uncertainty band around which chips qualify—a structural constraint on vendor planning and a geopolitical tool that now has durable legislative backing independent of administration change.
