B. ROUTERS Act — Removing Our Unsecure Technologies to Ensure Reliability and Security Act (also labeled H.R. 866 in House Report 119‑75)
(Note: this is a distinct federal bill included in the provided packet. Summarized here for clarity.)
Purpose and intent
To direct the Secretary of Commerce (through the Assistant Secretary for Communications and Information) to study national security risks and cybersecurity vulnerabilities posed by consumer routers, modems, and combined modem‑router devices that are designed, developed, manufactured, or supplied by entities owned, controlled by, or subject to influence from specified foreign “covered countries.”
Key provisions
- Requires the Secretary of Commerce to conduct a study on national security and cybersecurity risks from consumer routers/modems tied to covered countries (definition cross‑references 10 U.S.C. §4872(f)(2)).
- Mandates submission of a report to the House Energy and Commerce Committee and the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee within 1 year of enactment.
- Requires consultation with relevant bureaus/offices within the Department of Commerce during the study.
Who is affected / potential impacts
- Federal agencies (Department of Commerce) tasked with conducting the study and preparing the report.
- Manufacturers and suppliers of consumer routing/modem hardware tied to identified foreign adversaries could be implicated by study findings, potentially informing future policy or regulatory actions.
- Intended to inform Congress and federal policy on supply‑chain and device security.
Procedural status (as provided)
- Introduced: January 31, 2025 (sponsors: Reps. Robert Latta and Robin Kelly).
- Referred to House Committee on Energy and Commerce; reported (amended) as House Report 119‑75 (April 24, 2025).
- Considered under suspension; passed the House (voice vote) April 28, 2025; received in the Senate April 29, 2025.
If you want, I can:
- Produce a single combined analysis comparing the two measures and potential confusion from shared numbering, or
- Expand the ROUTERS Act summary to include more detail from the committee report (e.g., background, cited risks and PRC legal context).
