No Taxpayer Dollars for Communist China COVID Tests Act
This bill prohibits federal funds from being used to purchase at-home SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) tests manufactured in the People's Republic of China, imported from China, or made by subsidiaries of Chinese companies. It directly affects federal agencies and programs that buy such tests for public health use. The law bans all federal spending on these specific tests, requiring agencies to source alternatives not meeting the three prohibited criteria. This is a direct spending restriction, not a broader policy change to public health or trade.
