Reforming the bureau is a critical element to make sure our exports aren’t ending up in the hands of adversaries like China.

Cramer introduced the Bureau of Industry and Security License Administration Enhancement Act and framed BIS reform as necessary to prevent sensitive U.S. exports from reaching adversaries such as China.

Evidence

Cramer's Senate office announced that Senators Kevin Cramer and Andy Kim introduced the Bureau of Industry and Security License Administration Enhancement Act. The release says BIS runs the U.S. export-control licensing system for civil and military dual-use technologies, regulates exports to adversarial nations like China, and that the bill would create technical advisory committees, require publication on use of the presumption-of-denial standard, require is-informed letters to go through the standard interagency process, and require Commerce to review a 2025 BIS AI-chip smuggling rule.

Within the 2026-06-09 to 2026-07-08 lookback window, Cramer introduced bipartisan legislation directly aimed at reforming BIS export-control licensing administration for sensitive dual-use exports and adversaries such as China. This satisfies the commitment to support such legislation, though the source does not show enactment.

The promise was to support legislation reforming the BIS export-control licensing process so sensitive exports do not reach adversaries such as China, not necessarily to secure enactment. During Cramer's current Senate term, he introduced bipartisan legislation with Andy Kim that directly targets BIS licensing administration, adversary export controls, presumption-of-denial transparency, interagency process requirements, and AI-chip smuggling review. That is sufficient candidate action to count the support-legislation commitment as delivered in the same term, even though enactment is not shown.
