To amend section 1839 of title 18, United States Code, to provide that an entity domiciled in a foreign adversary country is a foreign instrumentality for purposes of the prohibition on economic espionage under such section.

This bill would change federal law so that a business or organization based in a country considered a foreign adversary would automatically be treated as a "foreign instrumentality" under the law that makes economic espionage a crime. This could affect how cases involving trade secret theft connected to those countries are handled under existing law. No official summary is available for this bill.
