Turn OFF THE TAP Act
This bill prohibits federal agencies from entering contracts with or providing funds to entities listed on U.S. sanctions lists. It specifically targets entities on the Treasury Department’s SDN list, Chinese military companies, and communications firms deemed security risks by the FCC. The law blocks all federal funding - whether direct or indirect - from supporting these entities through contracts, investments, or purchases. It directly affects federal agencies, contractors, and any organizations receiving federal funds that might interact with these sanctioned entities.
