Summary
The bill amends title 10 of the U.S. Code to require the Secretary of Defense to develop a strategy addressing threats from foreign adversaries' biotechnology capabilities, particularly those of the People's Republic of China, and to integrate that strategy into the National Defense Strategy and Defense Planning Guidance. It also directs the Director of National Intelligence to submit an assessment of China's use of biotechnology for military modernization within 180 days, and requires the Secretary of Defense to convene a Biotechnology Risk Contact Group to monitor foreign investments in the U.S. biotechnology sector, coordinate reviews with CFIUS, maintain a database of foreign entities, and report to Congress. The bill also includes sense-of-Congress findings about China's biotechnology activities and military-civil fusion strategy.
