This bill changes the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 to set a ten-year statute of limitations for export control violations. For civil enforcement, any action for fines, penalties, or forfeiture must be started within 10 years after the violation. The start of a civil action includes issuing a charging letter. For criminal cases, an indictment or information must be brought within 10 years after the latest date of the violation.
If you are a person or company subject to U.S. export controls, the government generally must begin civil or criminal proceedings within 10 years of the alleged violation. If enforcement begins after that time, the action cannot be entertained under this section.
