Bill > S108

This bill, titled the "Protecting Higher Education from the Chinese Communist Party Act of 2025," would prohibit members of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and their family members from obtaining F or J visas, which are typically used for international students (F visas) and exchange visitors (J visas) in the United States. The bill defines family members as including spouses, children, parents, siblings, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. The legislation includes two key exceptions: first, individuals may be admitted if necessary to comply with United Nations headquarters agreements or other international obligations, and second, the President or a presidential designee can grant a national security waiver if they certify in writing to congressional committees that such a waiver is in the United States' national security interest. By targeting CCP members and their relatives, the bill aims to limit the participation of individuals associated with the Chinese Communist Party in U.S. educational and cultural exchange programs, reflecting broader concerns about potential political, economic, or security risks.
