STOP CCP Act

Sponsor: Lisa McClain (R-MI)

This bill requires the President to impose visa- and property-blocking sanctions on any member of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Central Committee whom the President determines plays a significant role in developing or implementing policies that (1) violate the autonomy of Hong Kong; (2) harass or intimidate the people of Taiwan; or (3) contribute to the oppression of individuals or groups in China, including Uyghur Muslims. The President must also impose sanctions on the adult family members of such sanctioned persons. The President may waive the sanctions for renewable periods of up to 60 days by certifying to Congress that the waiver is vital to U.S. national security interests.
