HR 5550 United States House · 118th Congress

Blocking the Entry of Malign Actors Act

HR 5550, the "Blocking the Entry of Malign Actors Act," amends Section 407(a)(1) of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act (1990-1991) by replacing "and" with "or" in a list of criteria. This change would allow entry restrictions to apply if any single criterion is met, rather than requiring all criteria to be satisfied simultaneously. The bill directly affects the process for blocking entry of individuals deemed "malign actors" under this provision. Specific criteria impacted by the amendment are not detailed in the provided bill text.
