Became Public Law No: 119-34.
This law amends the Export Control Reform Act to require the Secretary to submit annual reports to two congressional committees on license applications, authorizations, and end-use checks related to exports, reexports, releases, and in-country transfers to specified "covered entities." Reports must list applicant and end-user names, item descriptions (including ECCN and reason for control, if applicable), locations, value estimates, decisions, submission dates, and end-use check results, plus aggregate statistics. Information other than aggregate statistics is exempt from public disclosure and reports must omit material that could jeopardize ongoing investigations.
Liberal calls for public disclosure; bill limits reports to congressional committees
Narrow oversight bill with limited cost and bipartisan appeal; few ideological flashpoints for House passage.

Reporting is subject to the availability of appropriations and defines the covered entities by specific EAR country group and supplements.
Modest, non-controversial reporting requirement with confidentiality protections and low fiscal impact—historically such bills often clear Congress.

These are examples from the analysis, not a ranked list of the most-affected groups.
Liberal calls for public disclosure; bill limits reports to congressional committees
Likely supportive of increased congressional oversight and detailed tracking of exports to high-risk entities, seeing potential to close enforcement gaps.
May be disappointed the reports are limited to specific committees rather than public release, and cautious about appropriations-based timing.
Generally favorable as a targeted, procedural reform that enhances congressional visibility while protecting investigations.
Will emphasize implementation details, costs, and whether this duplicates or burdens existing reporting systems.
Likely supportive of stronger scrutiny of exports to potentially hostile actors and improved enforcement metrics, but concerned about additional bureaucracy and congressional micromanagement.
Will want assurances reporting won't slow or leak sensitive operations.
