Sen. Rick Scott Leads Colleagues in Introducing Entity List Verification Act to Protect National Security

March 4, 2021

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Senators Rick Scott, Tom Cotton, Marco Rubio and Josh Hawley introduced the “The Entity List is an essential tool to protect our national security and foreign policy interests. It is no secret that state-owned and directed Chinese companies like Huawei routinely steal U.S. intellectual property, seek to undermine our national security and industrial capabilities, and support a range of human rights abuses. It is critical that malign actors such as Huawei remain on the Entity List unless the administration can certify to Congress that they are no longer a threat.”

The Prevents the Secretary of Commerce from removing an entity from the Entity List maintained by the Bureau of Industry and Security, unless the Secretary certifies to Congress:

  • The entity is no longer involved in activities contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States.
  • Removing the entity from entity list does not pose a threat to the allies of the United States.
