Read twice and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.
The bill requires the President to impose sanctions on Chinese provincial, municipal, and other police or law enforcement institutions, senior leaders, and persons associated with establishing a Chinese police or United Front presence in the United States. Sanctions include blocking property under IEEPA and making covered aliens inadmissible, revoking current visas, and authorizing penalties for violations.

Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a clear substantive sanctions statute that specifies primary legal authorities and concrete sanctions instruments but leaves several procedural and accountability elements under-specified.

Sanctions include blocking property under IEEPA and making covered aliens inadmissible, revoking current visas, and authorizing penalties for violations.
The President may grant limited 30-day waivers for national security reasons, and federal agencies are directed not to join non‑US investigations of covered foreign persons unless vital for health or safety.
Targeted sanctions can clear Congress when broadly supported, but diplomatic risks, immigration impacts, and Senate procedure lower probability.
