Defund EcoHealth Alliance Act

This bill prohibits all federal funding from being provided to EcoHealth Alliance, Inc. and its directly controlled subsidiaries, related organizations, or subgranted entities. It directly affects EcoHealth Alliance by cutting its access to federal grants, contracts, or other funding sources. The bill also requires the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to study and report on all federal funds provided to EcoHealth Alliance - whether intentionally or accidentally - to Chinese entities like the Wuhan Institute of Virology or the Chinese Communist Party, during the prior decade. The report must detail these funds and include any related agreements involving foreign entities. The bill focuses on restricting funding flows and requiring transparency, not on policy outcomes or advocacy.
