HR-3334 : Still Just a Bill


Sanctioning Tyrannical and Oppressive People within the Chinese Communist Party Act or the STOP CCP Act

This bill imposes visa- and property-blocking sanctions on any person who is a member of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, as well as any adult family member of such a person.

The President may waive the sanctions for renewable periods of 30 days by certifying to Congress that China's government and the Chinese Communist Party have ceased (1) any acts of genocide against the Uyghur Muslim population; (2) all threats, military exercises, and aggression toward Taiwan; (3) undermining the autonomy of Hong Kong; and (4) any efforts to steal the intellectual property of U.S. persons. The certification must also be publicly available on a federal government website.
