Bill > S49

This bill aims to impose strict sanctions on Chinese police departments and individuals involved in establishing or maintaining a Chinese police presence in the United States. The legislation would empower the President to block financial transactions and property of specified Chinese law enforcement entities, particularly those from Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region and Fujian provinces, and individuals associated with monitoring or intimidating people in the U.S. The bill would also render targeted individuals inadmissible to the United States, revoking their visas and entry documentation immediately. Specifically, the sanctions would apply to employees of Chinese police departments, their immediate family members, and those connected to establishing Chinese police presence in the U.S., including individuals acting under the United Front Work Department. The President would have limited waiver authority, allowing temporary exemptions for national security interests, but would be required to notify Congress. Additionally, the bill prohibits federal agencies from participating in investigations involving these targeted individuals unless the President determines such participation is crucial to U.S. citizens' health, safety, and well-being. Penalties for violating the sanctions would be consistent with existing international economic powers legislation.
