Bill > HR6146

This bill, the "No CCP Consultants Act," aims to prohibit the Department of State from entering into, renewing, or extending contracts with, or awarding grants to, certain consulting firms that have previously consulted for or received funding from entities associated with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) or other foreign governments deemed a threat to national security. The bill requires companies bidding for State Department consulting contracts to disclose any prior contracts or funding from these covered entities, and imposes penalties for failure to do so, including contract termination and debarment. The bill also provides guidance on implementing these restrictions and updating the Department of State's acquisition regulations accordingly.
