S 3177 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A bill to provide for a review of sanctions with respect to Hong Kong.

This bill requires the President to review whether 49 specific Hong Kong officials still meet criteria for U.S. sanctions under existing laws, including the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act and the Hong Kong Autonomy Act. Within 180 days of enactment, the President must submit a detailed justification to congressional committees on whether sanctions should continue against these officials, who include judges, prosecutors, and security officials. The review focuses on whether their actions align with the legal standards for sanctions under the specified laws. Congressional committees overseeing foreign policy and financial matters will receive the review findings. The bill does not change current sanctions but mandates a formal assessment of their continued application.
