A key risk is the discrepancy between the question title, which asks if the legislation will become law 'this year', and the explicit rules, which set the resolution deadline as December 31, 2026. Additionally, while the rules specifically name H.R. 3447 as qualifying, the criteria also broadly cover any legislation requiring location-verification security mechanisms on certain advanced chips before export, which leaves room for interpretation if provisions are attached to omnibus or unrelated bills. Official sources like Congress.gov and the Library of Congress provide clear, objective verification for enacted laws.

Resolution rules

This market will resolve to "Yes" if legislation that would require location-verification security mechanisms on certain advanced chips before export is passed by both chambers of the U.S. Congress and signed into law by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". Qualifying legislation includes the H.R. 3447 (119th) — “Chip Security Act.” Qualifying legislation may include joint resolutions and must pass both the House and the Senate, and must be signed by the President, become law without signature while Congress remains in session, or become law through veto override. Presidential pocket vetoes that expire resolve to "No". The primary resolution sources for this market will be Congress.gov’s legislation tracker (https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/22), the Library of Congress (congress.gov), and other official information from the government of the United States; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.

Market explained

This market measures whether U.S. legislation mandating location-verification security mechanisms on certain advanced chips prior to export becomes law by December 31, 2026.

How it resolves

The market resolves to Yes if qualifying legislation, including H.R. 3447 (119th) or joint resolutions, passes both the U.S. House and Senate and becomes law by December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. Enactment requires presidential signature, enactment without signature while Congress is in session, or a veto override. The market resolves to No if these conditions are not met, including if a presidential pocket veto expires. Resolution is decided using Congress.gov's legislation tracker, the Library of Congress, other official U.S. government information, or a consensus of credible reporting.
