What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill restricts the use of certain foreign cranes at U.S. ports. Foreign cranes are those with technology parts made by companies controlled by countries that the U.S. considers foreign adversaries, and that connect to port computer systems. New foreign cranes contracted after this bill becomes law cannot operate at U.S. ports, and existing foreign cranes must stop using software made by companies owned by foreign adversary countries within five years. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency must inspect these cranes for security risks, assess threats from existing and new foreign cranes, and take risky cranes offline until they can be certified as safe.
