AI Summary

This bill would terminate the requirement imposed by the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for proof of COVID-19 vaccination for foreign travelers entering the United States. It would prohibit the use of federal funds to administer, implement, or enforce this vaccination requirement. The bill also requires the CDC Director to submit a report to Congress on the number of visitors denied entry under the vaccination requirement since April 7, 2022. Importantly, the bill specifies that it does not affect the CDC's separate order requiring negative pre-departure COVID-19 test results or documentation of recovery for aircraft passengers traveling to the United States from China.
