What this bill does
The Secure and Feasible Exports of Chips Act of 2025, or SAFE Chips Act, would amend the Export Control Reform Act of 2018. Specifically, it would require licenses for exporting, re-exporting, or transferring certain advanced integrated circuits to countries designated as foreign adversaries. This bill would also deny any applications for such licenses. However, it includes an exclusion for advanced integrated circuits or products containing them that are not designed or marketed for data centers.
This bill would affect entities involved in the export, re-export, or in-country transfer of advanced integrated circuits, particularly those dealing with or located in countries identified as foreign adversaries. The definition of "advanced integrated circuit" includes specific technical parameters related to processing performance and bandwidth, as well as those classified under certain Export Control Classification Numbers. The bill also designates the Macau and Hong Kong Special Administrative Regions of China as foreign adversary countries.
Currently, the SAFE Chips Act has been introduced in the Senate and referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. The next step in the legislative process would involve the committee reviewing the bill, potentially holding hearings, and then deciding whether to advance it for consideration by the full Senate.
