GovInfo lists H.R. 8289 as introduced in the House on April 15, 2026, with Rep. Meeks as sponsor and referral to the Committee on Foreign Affairs. The bill is titled the BIS Licensing Efficiency Act of 2026 and is described as amending the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 to ensure expeditious processing of license applications.

The House Foreign Affairs Committee repository shows H.R. 8289 on the April 22, 2026 markup agenda and lists a vote item 'To report H.R. 8289' added the same day; the markup summary was added April 22, 2026 and the meeting record was last updated April 23, 2026.

The bill advanced through committee markup, which is concrete legislative progress, but the record does not show final House passage or enactment.

The House Foreign Affairs Committee vote sheet for H.R. 8289 records 44 yeas, 0 nays, and 0 absences on the motion "To report H.R. 8289."

This is concrete same-term committee action toward the BIS 90-day license-decision bill, but it is not final passage or enactment; I found no official later action in the lookback window showing the requirement became law or an executive rule.
