This resolution amends House rules to prohibit members, officers, and employees from serving on the board of directors of any organization connected to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) or designated foreign adversaries. It specifically bans board service on entities receiving funding from or affiliated with the CCP’s United Front Work Department, other CCP elements, or entities labeled "foreign adversaries" by the State Department under a specific 2023 regulation. The rule change applies to all House staff and members in their official capacities, targeting potential conflicts of interest with foreign entities. It does not affect private board roles outside of official House duties.
