New Initiative to Protect US Innovation and Economic Security from Nation-State Threats.
This Act establishes the CCP Initiative within the Department of Justice to counter nation-state threats, focusing on economic espionage, intellectual property theft, and protecting critical infrastructure. Citizens will benefit from enhanced security for their data and innovations, though academic and research environments may face increased scrutiny to prevent illegal technology transfer. The program is set to operate for six years, prioritizing the timely prosecution of economic security crimes.
