Evidence log

• 2026-05-20 — Blocking CCP Spy Tech Act of 2026: Cross-reference: S4586 (Blocking CCP Spy Tech Act of 2026) was read twice and referred to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence — a China-specific spy-technology vehicle that overlaps with S4882’s broader ICT supply-chain framing but is routed through Intelligence rather than Banking. (novelty: 2)
• 2026-05-11 — Connected Vehicle Security Act of 2026: cross-connection with connected-vehicle-security-trade: Both address foreign ICTS supply-chain risk; connected vehicles are a named ICTS category under existing Commerce rulemakings that S4882 would reinforce. (novelty: 3)
• 2006-04-17 — To provide for supply chain security cooperation between Department of Homeland Security and the private sector, and for other purposes.: Historical precedent: HR5144 (109th Congress, 2006) proposed a DHS-run secure electronic data interchange for sharing supply chain risk information with vetted private sector entities — an earlier, voluntary information-sharing model that predates the current covered-transaction/ICTS review approach. (novelty: 2)
• 2026-05-15 — Promoting the Integrity and Security of Telecommunications Certification Bodies, Measurement Facilities, and the Equipment Authorization Program: Cross-reference: FCC NPRM on equipment authorization proposes to derecognize test labs and TCBs in non-MRA/non-trade-agreement countries, applying a parallel ICT supply-chain and national-security rationale through the conformity-assessment channel rather than covered-transaction review. (novelty: 3)
• 2026-06-24 — ICTS Supply Chain Security Act of 2026: cross-connection with strategic-export-controls-border-security: Both 119th Congress bills address cross-border technology and security risks; S4882 targets ICT supply chain security via Senate Banking, while HR8689 pairs strategic export controls with border security via House Foreign Affairs. (novelty: 2)
