AI Summary
This bill, the Falun Gong Protection Act, aims to impose sanctions on individuals involved in the involuntary harvesting of organs within China. It requires the President to submit a list of foreign persons engaged in or facilitating this practice, and to impose sanctions such as blocking their property and denying them entry to the United States. The bill also directs the Secretary of State to report on China's organ transplant policies and practices, including assessing whether the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners constitutes an "atrocity." Additionally, the bill prohibits the imposition of sanctions on the importation of goods.
