The bill would require the President to identify foreign persons determined to have knowingly and directly engaged in or facilitated forced organ harvesting in the People’s Republic of China and impose property-blocking and immigration sanctions on listed persons. It would exempt specified national-security, intelligence, law-enforcement, and humanitarian activities, exclude sanctions on goods imports, permit case-by-case presidential waivers in the national security interests of the United States, and terminate the sanctions authority five years after enactment. It would also require a report within one year from the Secretary of State, in consultation with specified health and intelligence officials, on China’s organ-transplant policies and practices.
