Chip Security Act

This bill requires certain advanced computer chips to have built-in security features that can verify the chip's location before it is shipped or transferred to a foreign country. Companies that have permission to send these chips abroad must report to the government if they learn the chips have been sent somewhere they were not supposed to go or have been tampered with. The Department of Commerce would also have to study whether additional security features are needed for these chips and report its findings to Congress, and it would have the power to check on the ownership and location of chips that have been sent to other countries.
