Chinese Communist Party Lobbying Divestment Act of 2024

This bill prohibits the U.S. Department of Defense from contracting with companies that employ or retain lobbyists representing Chinese military entities or human rights-abusing organizations. It requires contractors to certify they have no such lobbying ties and implement procedures to detect violations during contracts. Violations could lead to withheld funds, contract rescission, or audits, with limited national security waivers allowed. The law directly affects defense contractors and aims to restrict business ties with entities linked to Chinese military or human rights concerns.
