AI Summary
This bill, the Global Respect Act of 2021, aims to impose sanctions on foreign persons responsible for violations of the human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) individuals. It requires the President to submit a list of such foreign persons to Congress every 180 days, and makes those individuals ineligible to receive a U.S. visa or be admitted to the U.S. The bill also amends the Foreign Assistance Act to require tracking of violence, criminalization, and restrictions on fundamental freedoms based on actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity in the State Department's annual human rights reports.
