Bill Summary

A BILL To direct the Secretary of Homeland Security and the Secretary of State to require aliens applying for certain visas to disclose if they receive funds from the Government of the People’s Republic of China or the Chinese Communist Party, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill requires foreign students and exchange visitors with F, J, or M visas to disclose any financial support received from the Chinese government, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), or entities controlled by them. Specifically, applicants must report on visa application forms (Form I-20 for students and Form DS-2019 for exchange visitors) whether they have received or plan to receive such funds, the amount of those funds, and the entity providing them. If a visa holder receives funds from these sources after obtaining their visa, they must report this to the Department of Homeland Security and the State Department within 90 days. Failure to disclose such funding can result in visa revocation, and these requirements also extend to the visa holder's spouse and minor children. The bill defines "certain funds" as money provided by the Chinese government, the CCP, or any entity owned or controlled by them. The new disclosure requirements must be implemented within 180 days of the bill's enactment, and current visa holders must also report any existing or planned funding from these sources.
