Enhancing US Research Security: Mandatory Polygraphs for Foreign Nationals in DOE Labs.
This Act tightens security protocols within the Department of Energy and National Laboratories to protect critical government research from foreign theft. It mandates qualifying polygraph examinations for foreign nationals from "countries of concern" who have access to nonpublic research data. Refusal to undergo the examination results in immediate termination or ineligibility for employment at the DOE.
Key points
Mandatory polygraph examinations are introduced for foreign nationals (who are not permanent residents) from designated "countries of concern" working in National Laboratories.
These examinations are required before hiring, transfer, and at least once every 5 years to maintain access to nonpublic research data.
Refusal to submit to a polygraph examination leads to immediate termination of employment at the Department of Energy and revocation of access to sensitive information.
