Bill Summary

AI Summary

This bill amends the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995 to clarify that employees of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (also known as the Helsinki Commission) and the Congressional-Executive Commission on the People's Republic of China (also known as the China Commission) are to be treated as "covered employees" under the Act.
