Bill Summary
A BILL To provide for the imposition of sanctions on the Government of the People’s Republic of China, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, called the Stop CCP Fentanyl Act, proposes to impose sanctions on the Chinese government for its role in the fentanyl crisis in the United States. Specifically, it would allow the President to impose sanctions on the President of China, the Chairman of the Chinese Communist Party, the State Council, and the Politburo Standing Committee, unless China takes sufficient measures to prevent the flow of fentanyl precursor chemicals from China to the United States. The bill also provides a right of action for U.S. nationals or permanent residents who are immediate family members of individuals who died from fentanyl overdoses to seek damages against the Chinese government or covered Chinese officials. The bill aims to address the growing fentanyl epidemic in the United States, which has led to over 100,000 overdose deaths in 2021, with the majority of fentanyl in the U.S. originating from China.
