AI Summary
This bill, the Uyghur Human Rights Sanctions Review Act, requires the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General, to determine whether certain Chinese entities are responsible for or complicit in serious human rights abuses against Uyghurs or other predominantly Muslim ethnic groups in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China. If the entities are found to meet the criteria for sanctions under various U.S. laws and executive orders, the Secretary must include them on the list of specially designated nationals and blocked persons maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control. The bill also requires the Secretary to submit a report to Congress on the determination, including the reasons for it.
