Bill > S2743

This bill establishes the interagency China Censorship Monitor and Action Group, which will compile and maintain a public database of instances where China's government has punished a U.S. company for the company's exercise of free speech. The group will be composed of representatives from the Department of State, Department of Commerce, Federal Communications Commission, and the United States Agency for Global Media, and will meet quarterly and consult with other federal agencies and relevant private sector and media stakeholders. The bill requires the group to submit annual reports to Congress and provide semiannual briefings on its activities, and authorizes the appropriation of necessary funds to carry out its work.
