Bill Summary
A BILL To impose restrictions on the investment in Chinese companies by tax-exempt entities.
AI Summary
This bill, the Dump Investments in Troublesome Communist Holdings Act (DITCH Act), proposes to impose restrictions on the investment in Chinese companies by tax-exempt entities. The key provisions include: (1) prohibiting tax-exempt organizations from holding any interest in a "disqualified Chinese company" (defined as a company incorporated in China or with over 10% Chinese government or Communist Party ownership); (2) requiring tax-exempt organizations to annually report their investments in disqualified Chinese companies; (3) allowing the Secretary of the Treasury to grant waivers to this prohibition under certain conditions, such as if the need for the investment outweighs the threat posed by China; and (4) requiring the Secretary to publish a list of certified pooled investments that do not have exposure to disqualified Chinese companies. The amendments would apply to taxable years ending after the bill's enactment, with a 270-day grace period for organizations unaware of their noncompliance.
